Akhilesh Yadav's Criticism of the BJP Government
Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav has once again targeted the BJP government, claiming that they are promising to develop industrial zones along expressways. He asserted that his party had initiated the establishment of markets for farmers along these expressways. Yadav emphasized that the BJP should focus on creating markets where every crop can be sold. He questioned the closure of dairy plants, asking, 'What do these BJP members know about dairy products?'
In a sarcastic tone, he remarked that BJP members do not drink cow's milk but prefer cow dung. He suggested that if they were gifted cow dung, they would be pleased, whereas gifts of dairy products like ghee or yogurt would upset them. Yadav expressed his commitment to supporting local businesses and entrepreneurs in any way possible.
The former Chief Minister also voiced his opposition to the merger of schools, arguing that if schools are located far from homes, it would be difficult for children, especially girls, to attend. He raised concerns about patients in ICUs surviving without electricity and criticized the health department for not facilitating transfers. Yadav accused the BJP government of failing to maintain law and order, stating that criminals are committing murders openly, leaving citizens feeling unsafe throughout the state.
Akhilesh Yadav was visiting his parliamentary constituency of Kannauj when he spoke to reporters, further criticizing the Yogi Adityanath-led government for its handling of law enforcement and alleging corruption in transfers and postings.
