Akhilesh Yadav's Strong Stance on Women's Rights and Census
Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav has made significant remarks regarding women's reservation and the census. Speaking at the party office, he emphasized that today marks a historic moment as numerous individuals are joining the Samajwadi Party. He noted that the collective effort in the PDA struggle is strengthening their cause. Yadav reiterated that the Samajwadi Party has always supported women's reservation, asserting that any attempts to obstruct it come from the Bharatiya Janata Party, whose ill intentions will not succeed.
Yadav further stated that the demand for a caste-based census is tied to rights, entitlements, and reservations, which is why BJP members are reluctant to conduct it. He confidently declared that the BJP will not only lose but will also not return to power. He highlighted that for the first time in history, a community is poised to defeat a party, referring to the PDA, which aims to establish social justice by forming a government in the near future.
The SP leader criticized the government's silence on the delimitation process, suggesting it was a covert attempt to undermine women's reservation. Addressing the protests by workers in Noida, he pointed out that the issues raised were quickly dismissed, and workers were unjustly blamed. He questioned the government's accountability, noting that many workers have been jailed, with reports of fatalities. He emphasized that the truth behind the workers' protests remains unknown, questioning the fairness of their wages compared to those in Delhi or Haryana. He labeled the current government as the most corrupt, challenging their claims of a trillion-dollar economy and investment at what cost.
On the topic of primary education, Yadav assured that if his party returns to power, mothers and children will face no difficulties. He stressed the importance of education for all and committed to improving the future of primary education. He promised to reinstate provisions for free meals, books, weekly fruits, and milk, similar to previous initiatives.
