Lucknow: Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav launched a sharp attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) during a press conference at the party office in Lucknow on Monday. He alleged that after collecting public money through demonetization, BJP leaders are now accumulating gold, which has led to soaring prices in the market.
Criticism Over Farmers’ Plight and Rising Inflation
Yadav criticized the BJP for misleading farmers with false promises of doubling their income. “Farmers were assured prosperity, yet today, everything from petrol and diesel to electricity and housing materials has become unaffordable. The common man cannot even afford gold for his daughter’s wedding,” he said.
Raising questions over governance, the SP chief alleged that BJP leaders are involved in irregularities linked to the “cough syrup scam” and that liquor consignments are being openly smuggled to other states.
“They promised free data and free food grains in 2022 but delivered none,” he remarked, adding that the government runs on emotion rather than efficiency.
Questions Over Governance and Public Welfare
Yadav further said that the BJP’s international visits yield little benefit for the public. “Hospitals are being inaugurated, but there are no proper facilities for treatment, not even for cancer patients,” he added.
