Samajwadi Party MP Dimple Yadav launched a scathing critique of the government during a Union budget discussion, addressing various pressing issues.

Yadav questioned the government's commitment to farmers and youth, citing the stray cattle menace, which has turned citizens into perpetual 'chowkidars'. She also questioned the government's promise to double farmers' income by 2022 and criticized budget allocations for agriculture and youth welfare.

She highlighted issues such as farmer suicides, a collapsing cattle economy, inflation, and the shortcomings in the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA). She called for increased funding for education and healthcare, decrying the government's reduction of University Grants Commission (UGC) funds and inadequate healthcare budget.

Yadav emphasized the growing unemployment and criticized schemes like Agnipath that she said were demoralizing the youth. She also pointed out the government's failure to address the caste census and violence against women. Yadav called for responsible governance to bring about necessary reforms.
