Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav said that the Bharatiya Janata Party government in Uttar Pradesh had failed to create jobs for the youths and ensure remunerative prices of crops to the farmers.
Akhilesh claimed that people belonging to all sections were facing problems.
“Debt-ridden farmers are committing suicide. The future of the youths is in the dark. The BJP is out to crush the dreams of the younger generation,” the SP chief said at a programme in Lucknow on Tuesday.
Referring to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Akhilesh said, “The CM does not like opposition. Students who raise pressing issues are sent jail and even girl students are subjected to police action.”
Last year, a group of students, including two girls, associated with SP’s student wing blocked Yogi’s convoy in Lucknow and waved black flags. They were detained and sent to jail. A court granted them bail after 20 days.
