Lucknow: Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Monday launched a sharp attack on the BJP government in Uttar Pradesh over the ongoing power crisis, alleging that the ruling party is trying to divert attention from growing public anger through political manoeuvring and cabinet reshuffles.
In a strongly-worded post on X, Yadav accused BJP MLAs and MPs of trying to shield themselves from public outrage over what he described as a "Maha Power Disaster" in Uttar Pradesh. He claimed that leaders within the ruling party were issuing letters not in public interest, but to secure their political future ahead of the upcoming elections.
"To escape the continuously rising public outrage due to the unbearable 'Maha Power Disaster' in UP, the terrified BJP MLAs and MPs are trying to shield themselves with a 'paper armor' in the form of a sham letter--but that letter is not, in fact, any 'public interest letter' written to their own government; rather, it is an 'application letter' to the opposition to secure tickets in the upcoming elections by jumping ship from the sinking BJP vessel," he wrote.
