Lucknow: Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav alleged that the Yogi Adityanath government has taken Uttar Pradesh to top position in the country in custodial deaths, hunger index and farmers’ suicides.
Addressing a crowd in Rae Bareli during Vijay Rath Yatra on Friday, Akhilesh said, “Those who claim to make Uttar Pradesh number one in the country have actually taken it to the top position in custodial deaths, hunger index, farmers’ suicides, in selling public enterprises and banks and in burying cows alive. Can anyone imagine that live cows can be buried?”
“Yogi Adityanath also claims that UP is number one in ‘Ease of Doing Business’. I am curious as to in which fields is UP in the top position? In UP, there is no Ease of Doing Business but
‘Ease of Doing Crime’. Look at the condition of roads. If you smash a coconut on a newly-built road during inauguration, the coconut won’t break, but the road will.
The BJP leaders would soon use tomato instead of coconut for inaugurating roads. The fact is that the BJP government has failed to deliver to the people on all fronts and would be wiped out of the state in the upcoming assembly elections. People will not rest till they throw out the Uttar Pradesh engine of the so-called double engine government,” the SP chief stressed. Akhilesh also targeted the BJP over the Lakhimpur Kheri violence and said, "Union Minister of State for Home Ajay Mishra Teni should be sacked from the Union Cabinet by the PM.
