Putting pause on new schemes by Centre is welcoming but poor should be benefitted: Mayawati

Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati supported central government's announcement that no further expenditure on new scheme except PM Gareeb Kalyan Package and Aatma Nirbhar Bharat Abhiyan Package and said that it's a welcome step but its benefit should go to poor.

"Central Government said there will be no further expenditure on new schemes, except PM Gareeb Kalyan Package and Aatma Nirbhar Bharat Abhiyan Package.

It's a welcome step but its benefit should go to poor, labourers and unemployed people, which isn't happening," said Mayawati,
