Prayagraj: Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government of grabbing land under the pretext of the Waqf Amendment Act.
While talking to reporters in Civil Lines before attending a private event, he claimed that the BJP government is trying to grab land like a mafia.
“The BJP is grabbing land under the pretext of the Waqf Amendment Act. It is occupying vacant lands like the land mafia,” he alleged.
He said that the BJP government is crushing the public as much as it can. “Be it demonetisation, GST or the matter of reducing the rights of reservation,” he said.
Regarding mismanagement in the Maha Kumbh, the SP chief said that if the SP government is formed in the state, it will definitely be investigated.
In response to a question, he said that the Backward, Dalit and Minority (PDA) will show the way to the BJP government by ousting it from power in the 2027 elections. He stressed that the INDI alliance\\\\ is and will remain.
Akhilesh claimed that the ruling government of the state did not reveal the correct number of people killed in the stampede at Maha Kumbh and pressure was exerted to declare the cause of death as normal.
He said that the role of drones and CCTV cameras was zero during the stampede.
