UP has decided to oust BJP: Akhilesh Yadav

KANPUR: Samajwadi Party national president Akhilesh Yadav on Saturday made a direct attack on the BJP government on the issue of inflation, unemployment and development.

“The upcoming assembly elections would be the biggest election in the country as the people of the state have made up their mind to dethrone the Bharatiya Janata Party. It (BJP) has not done any work as per its manifesto. The law and order situation in the state has collapsed. Till the time of elections, the government will only focus on how to target the opposition party leaders with mala fide intention,” said Yadav in Saifai, his native place in Etawah on Raksha Bandhan.

“The biggest announcement was to double the income of farmers. Today, the public is asking the price of which crop was doubled,” he said.

“Inflation has hit the farmers. Cane farmers have not yet got their dues,” Akhilesh added.

“Everyone has seen the defeat of BJP in West Bengal elections. The people there had taught Bharatiya Janata Party a lesson. Everyone has seen the way BJP has worked in bad faith in Bihar and Bengal elections,” the former chief minister said.
