AAP slams Uttarakhand budget, calls it ‘impractical’

Dehradun

: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has criticised the state government over the 2021-22 Uttarakhand budget that was presented by chief minister Trivendra Singh Rawat in the assembly at Gairsain on Thursday.

Calling it an ‘impractical budget', AAP spokesperson Ravindra Anand said, "It is clearly evident that the state government presented the budget keeping in mind the assembly elections slated to take place early next year. CM just made announcements without realizing where the money will come from."

Anand added that the state is already under debt and there is nothing for the farmers and the common man in the budget.

AAP is also not impressed with the state government's decision to make Gairsain, summer capital of Uttarakhand, as headquarters of the third commissary after Pauri and Nainital.

"The state government has announced spending a huge amount of money in Gairsain, which is not financially feasible looking at the current financial condition of the state. It is a political gimmick through which the government wants to swing votes," added Ravindra Anand.
