Questioning Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s achievements, Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav said that his failure to give positive results in the last three years of his tenure was the biggest `karnaama’ he could boast of.
Addressing a poll rally in Ballia on Thursday, Yadav said that the Modi government had not done anything which could be claimed as his achievement.
“He is busy in his ‘maan ki baat’. It would have been better though had he said something about the actual work his government did at the ground level. How can the PM give details when his government has not done anything concrete at the ground level,” Yadav said.
“In comparision, the Samajwadi Party Government has its report card ready. We have done so much of work that people have started talking about it. They are telling the media about how they have been getting power and how this government has connected their villages with district headquarters,” the Chief Minister said.
Yadav said that the surging crowds in rallies organised by the SP-Congress alliance has taken the sheen from the faces of BJP leaders. “In this sixth phase of election on March 4, the alliance will get major chunk of seats, “ he hoped.
Yadav addressed a series of rallies in Ballia on Thursday. In Sikandarpur he addressed a rally in support of SP candidate Md Ziauddin Rizvi where he said that the BJP and BSP were heading towards a massive defeat.
“These parties know that defeat is staring at their faces and therefore both parties will join hands after election,” Yadav said appealing to the people to vote for the alliance.
The CM said that ‘notebandi’ has severely affected the common man. “Traders, labourers and common man on the streets were the worst sufferers. The PM should tell the nation how much blck money was confiscated in the last three years. We have been asking this for many months now but the Central government is yet to come up any answer,” he said.
Questioning the Central government policies, Yadav said that under PM Awas Yojana, the beneficiary is gives merely Rs 1 lakh. “Tell me, can one build house with this amount IJ He is in power for more than three years now and he should tell people how many houses poeople have been given in Uttar Pradesh,” teh CM dared.
“In comparision, our government has given 3 lakh houses to the poor under lohia Awas Yojana. The state government gives Rs 3 lakh for construction of these houses,” he said.
Yadav also spoke about other schemes like Agra-lucknow Expressway which would be extended to Purvanchal. “Support the SP-Congress alliance so that we can form next government and complete the unfinished works,” Yadav said.
