Claiming that “gundaraj” and “corruption” reached its peak in Uttar Pradesh in past three years, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Thursday alleged that 65 farmers committed suicide in Mahoba due to financial problems.
He was talking to reporters at party headquarters. “In the past three years, 'gundaraj' and corruption reached its peak in UP. They talk about doubling farmers income by 2022 but the reality is that it has become half. “On February 29, 14 MLAs and MLCs of the party went to Mahoba and met family members of 65 farmers, who committed suicide due to financial crisis,” Akhilesh said.
Trashing claims of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath that his government was number one, he said, “This government is number one in providing poor health facilities and education, giving bad quality mid-day meals, in fake encounters, crimes against women and children, atrocitiesagainst rape victims, corruption and promoting casteism.”
