In an indirect attack on Narendra Modi, Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav said that former Prime Minister Chandrashekhar was known for his simplicity while the present incumbent is known for changing his dresses. “PM’s post means responsibility to ameliorate grievances of people. It does not mean showing off your wardrobe. Chandrashekhar as PM had implemented policies that changed the lives of common man on the street,” Yadav said.
The SP supremo was addressing ‘ Dhanayad Sabha’ on the occasion of the birth anniversary of former Prime Minister late Chandrashakher here at the state party office organised by Chandrashekhar Memorial Trust, Azamgarh on Friday. UP government had already announced a public holiday on the occasion of the birthday of late PM in the state. A book’ Rashtra Purush Chandrashekhar penned by noted journalist Dhirendra Srivastava was also released in the function.
Appreciating the Akhilesh Yadav government for launching several welfare schemes for the benefit of the poor and farmers he called on the party workers to apprise people of these schemes. “Ours is the pro-poor and pro-farmer government that is working for the uplift of downtrodden and poor. The Government has launched schemes to strengthen infrastructure as well as has improved the delivery system,” he said and added that Samajwadi Party Government was following the path shown by former PM.
Yadav also talked about Chandrashekhar in detail about his simplicity and love for poor. He asked the youth to follow the path shown by Chandrashekhar. “UP gave several PMs but it was only Chandrashekhar and Chaudhury Charan Singh, who showed their interest in the development of the state,” he said. UP minister Shivpal Singh Yadav too addressed the gathering along with several other senior ministers.
