Gairsain, March 10 -- The Uttarakhand Congress termed the state BJP government's budget for 2026-27 as "directionless" and an "attempt to mislead public through figures" . The Opposition party said the budget attempts to mislead the public through figures and does not contain concrete provisions for key sectors such as health, education, tourism and pilgrimage infrastructure. Senior vice-president of the Uttarakhand Pradesh Congress Committee, Suryakant Dhasmana, said, "The budget attempts to mislead the public through figures and does not contain concrete provisions for key sectors such as health, education, tourism and pilgrimage infrastructure." "The government has described the budget with the theme Santulan (balance), but the allocations reflect imbalance. In reality, it is a directionless budget," Dhasmana said. He claimed that the government currently owes more than Rs.350 crore to hospitals and medical colleges under schemes such as Ayushman, Golden Card and CGHS. "Despite this, only Rs.600 crore has been allocated for the Atal Ayushman Yojana for the next financial year. With such limited provisions, it is difficult to understand how the government plans to ensure treatment for patients," he said. "Overall, the budget is anti-poor, unbalanced and directionless."...
