Bahujan Samaj Party president Mayawati termed the President's address in Parliament on the first day of the Budget session on Monday as disappointing and devoid of new hopes for the people of the country.
In a couple of tweets in Hindi on Monday, Mayawati posted, "First the Congress cheated in the name of 'Garibi hatao' and now even in the BJP government, the gross neglect and plight of the children of Mother India continues, why ?
The BSP leader further tweeted, "Mother India will be truly hailed only when her children will be happy and prosperous, free from poverty, unemployment, exploitation, injustice etc.. But due to wrong policies of the government, there has been an increase in poverty and misery in the lives of the people in the last years and the poor were getting more poor and rich are getting more rich, this is grossly unfair."
