Akhilesh Yadav Targets BJP Over Border Security, Inflation

Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday criticized the BJP government over several key issues, including border security, rising inflation, fuel prices, and the closure of government primary schools.

He questioned the BJP's focus on delimitation, saying that the country's border security required greater attention.

Yadav asked the BJP to state the geographical area of the country in 2014 and compare it with the present area, highlighting concerns over border security.

He also targeted the government over inflation, citing the blending of ethanol in petrol, known as E20, and alleged shortages and irregularities in the supply of fertilizers to farmers.

The SP chief criticized the civic conditions in Lucknow, pointing out that garbage was lying across the city.

Yadav took a swipe at the BJP's tree plantation campaign, questioning the claim of planting 300 crore trees and asking for the locations of these plantations.

He attacked the Yogi Adityanath government over education, alleging that 500 primary schools had been closed in Gorakhpur, including in the chief minister's home district.

Yadav also criticized the condition of the Kanpur-Lucknow Expressway, saying that potholes had already appeared on the road.

The SP president paid tribute to freedom fighter Rani Avantibai Lodhi on her birth anniversary, comparing her contribution to India's freedom struggle to that of Rani Lakshmibai.

Yadav reiterated the Samajwadi Party's commitment to securing rights and opportunities for the Lodhi community and other sections covered under its PDA, or Pichhda, Dalit and Alpsankhyak, political plank.

He vowed to continue fighting for the PDA, creating awareness in society, and working to bring people together.

The SP president's criticism of the BJP government comes amid rising concerns over inflation, border security, and education in the country.

The issue of border security has been a major concern for the government, with questions being raised over the security of the country's borders.

The Samajwadi Party's focus on the PDA plank is seen as an attempt to consolidate its support base among marginalized communities.

The party's efforts to create awareness and bring people together are likely to be closely watched in the run-up to future elections.

Overall, Akhilesh Yadav's criticism of the BJP government highlights the key issues facing the country and the need for greater attention to be paid to these concerns.
