Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India]: August 11 : Samajwadi Party Chief and Leader of Opposition in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly Akhilesh Yadav on Friday hit out at the Yogi government in the state and said that farmers should not expect anything from this government, as the government was grabbing land from the farmers.
SP chief Akhilesh Yadav questioned the Yogi government and said, "While you are talking about opening the doors of export for the farmers, how much has been exported till now? Trees are being cut in Ayodhya, plantation of trees is being shown on paper but forests are not visible. What happened to the crop insurance scheme? Will you be providing market to the farmers? There has been no progress on sustainable goal discussion. We haven't spoken on electricity yet."
What is the progress in Gorakhpur, how many power plants have been set up in the last six and half years from which electricity is being generated, he questioned.
Akhilesh Yadav further took a jibe at CM Yogi and said, "You are unable to appoint the DGP of your choice. The leader of the House started dynastic politics. You became the MP, then you became the head of the Math. What is the progress on the appointment of teachers?"
LoP UP Vidhan Sabha Akhilesh Yadav said that there is a rise in unemployment. "Yesterday the PM said that 13 crore people have been brought out of poverty, here the UP CM says that 5 crore people have been brought out of poverty which is not the fact. People in this government are creating a divide. If there is any incident against the daughters, then it should be condemned."
The monsoon session of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly began on August 7. It is the third session of the Yogi Adityanath government in its second term and the seventh overall.
