Uttar Pradesh Assembly Session: SP Chief Akhilesh Yadav slams CM Yogi; Says, "Government does not want to face opposition"

Akhilesh Yadav

Lucknow: Samajwadi Party Chief Akhilesh Yadav targeted the Yogi Adityanath-led-BJP government in Uttar Pradesh over issues of farmers, reservation and an alleged poor condition of education in the state as the four-day winter session of the Uttar Pradesh Legislature started today.

The SP Supremo and former Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav said that, "The government does not want to face opposition. We are demanding a discussion on various issues. But they want neither to hear anything nor to give any answer."

Akhilesh Yadav further attacked the government over the alleged lack of medical facilities in the hospitals. "The medical infrastructure is completely in shambles."

The SP Chief further alleged that parents are not sending their children to get enrolled in primary schools. "6900 teachers are looking for recruitment."

He further alleged that new investment proposals "were not being seen anywhere" and that "the pothole-free roads continue to be a dream."

"Farmers in rural areas are not getting the benefits of their procurement; wheat rates are not increasing; paddy is not being purchased by the government," he said.

He added that many parties in the country were openly in favour of holding a caste census. "Reservation is necessary to make everyone equal," Akhilesh said.

The four-day session of the Uttar Pradesh Legislature has been convened from today. (with ANI inputs)
