Lucknow, March 19 Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Thursday alleged that the BJP is "misleading" the youth and has failed to provide them with jobs and employment opportunities.
Addressing party workers and leaders who had gathered from various districts at the party's state headquarters here, Yadav said that a large number of educated young people are unemployed and accused the ruling party of "pushing the country towards darkness".
"The BJP is misleading the youth and has failed to provide them with jobs and employment opportunities. The BJP government has damaged the health and education systems. Even in the final year of the government, the health minister is pretending to conduct inspections by standing in queues. The poor are not getting medicines and treatment. Health services in the state have collapsed," Yadav alleged.
He also alleged that under the Yogi Adityanath government, poor people are neither getting ambulances on time nor access to proper treatment, and accused the BJP regime of pushing them into hardship.
Yadav claimed that corruption, commission-taking, and "loot" were at their peak under the BJP government.
Alleging the closure of primary schools, he said the government's intentions regarding the education of poor children were "not right".
Also, he accused the BJP of stalling development works in the state and said "only looting of the budget" was taking place.
The SP chief asserted that the people of the state were aware of the BJP's "wrongdoings" and claimed that they were ready to "get rid of" the party in the 2027 assembly elections.
"The BJP will be wiped out in the assembly polls. For jobs, employment for youths and welfare of farmers, a Samajwadi Party government is necessary in the public interest," he said.
Yadav said industries would be set up and agriculture and factories promoted if his party returned to power, asserting that Uttar Pradesh would once again move rapidly on the path of development after 2027.
