RsRsMyopic and short sighted policies of the Congress have facilitated the rise of the BJP to power at the Center. In lok Sabha all the parties except the congress praised the development works done by the Samajwadi party government in UP. Congress has no future now, its strength in lok Sabha has dwindled to historic low and this party is finished. Now congress is finished and has no future as the BJP is firmly in saddle in power in Delhi’’, said the SP chief in Mainpuri.
lashing out at the Congress Yadav said RsRs it’s the Samajwadi party which has consistently fought the communal forces led by the BJP but the congress instead of fighting the BJP they opposed the Samajweadi party and even today they are opposing us in UP’’.
The SP chief on the occasion also tried to send a conciliatory message to the soldiers as the Prime Minister Narendra Modi woos retired soldiers of the Indian army by implementing the One Rank One Pension (OROP). Mulayam Singh Yadav extracted a promise from his son and Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav to complete the construction of the Sainik (soldier) school in Mainpuri, within the stipulated timeframe.
"We had already given the Sainik School, I wanted to inaugurate it but it's not complete. So the CM should tell what time will he complete the School" said Mulayam from the dais which he shared with his son. Mulayam Singh asked his chief minister son to complete building the school within 8 months and not one year duration that Akhilesh had promised before. CM sounding like an obedient son agreed to his father and said " It will be done in 8 months".
