 "Akhilesh yadav")
Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav targeted the Yogi Adityanath-led-BJP government in Uttar Pradesh over issues of farmers, reservation and an alleged poor condition of education in the state as the four-day winter session of the Uttar Pradesh Legislature started today.
Speaking to reporters ahead of the session, the former Chief Minister said, "The government does not want to face opposition. We are demanding a discussion on various issues. But they neither want to hear anything nor want to give any answer."
Akhilesh Yadav further attacked the government over the alleged lack of medical facilities in the hospitals. "The medical infrastructure is completely in shambles."
The SP Chief further alleged that parents are not sending their children to get enrolled in primary schools. "6900 teachers are looking for recruitment."
He further alleged that new investment proposals "were not being seen anywhere" and that "the pothole-free roads continue to be a dream."
"Farmers in rural areas are not getting the benefits of their procurement; wheat rates are not increasing; paddy is not being purchased by the government," he said.
