The scheduled August 6 sitting was cancelled. The Opposition sought a discussion under Rule 311 on alleged theft of donations from the Ram temple in Ayodhya. The House was adjourned three times before the bill was passed. Chief minister Yogi Adityanath accused the Samajwadi Party of blocking debate on welfare measures. The budget sets aside Rs 45,568.63 crore, about 77%, for economic services including infrastructure, industry, energy, agriculture and development. Adityanath said funds also covered pensions, worker honorariums, employment schemes and social security for outsourced staff.
