NEW DELHI: Samajwadi Party (SP) President Akhilesh Yadav launched a scathing critique of the Uttar Pradesh government, addressing multiple pressing issues, including the recruitment of 69,000 assistant teachers and the stateโ€™s handling of law and order.

During a press conference, Yadav congratulated the 69,000 candidates who have long fought for justice and expressed optimism for their future.

โ€œFirst of all, I would like to congratulate all the 69,000 students who have been fighting continuously. I thank them for the support they will get in the future, all the children of this country should wear the garland because of their struggle.โ€ he said.

Yadav highlighted the governmentโ€™s responsibility to act transparently to ensure justice for these candidates.

He criticised the stateโ€™s approach to law and order, particularly its claim of โ€œzero tolerance,โ€ noting that many incidents of corruption and violence continue to plague the state.

 

 

โ€œIt is the responsibility of the government. How much the government will act depends on how transparent it is so that the children get justice,โ€ Yadav said.

He cited an example in Sultanpur, a district near Lucknow, where an engineer was allegedly killed for financial gain. Yadav questioned the governmentโ€™s failure to protect its citizens and accused it of shielding corrupt officials.

โ€œCan anyone imagine that a payment could kill an engineer? So, imagine how big of a deal corruption is,โ€ he remarked.

Yadav expressed concerns about the stateโ€™s law enforcement, suggesting that officials often protect those involved in corrupt activities while silencing dissent.

โ€œIf anyone says anything against the government, the officials are informed to target them,โ€ he added.

The SP chief emphasised that the stateโ€™s issues stem from BJP rule, suggesting that true justice and liberation for the poor could only be achieved once the party is ousted.

โ€œUntil liberation from BJP is achieved, there will be no liberation of the poor,โ€ Yadav stated.

Yadavโ€™s remarks reflect mounting tensions over recruitment controversies and ongoing governance challenges in Uttar Pradesh.
