Lucknow, 14th Aug: During a 24-hour debate on “Vision 2047 for Uttar Pradesh,” Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath launched a strong attack on the opposition Samajwadi Party (SP). He redefined the party’s slogan of PDA, which was originally coined by SP chief Akhilesh Yadav to represent ‘Pichhda’ (backwards), Dalits, and ‘Alpsankhyak’ (minorities).

CM Adityanath stated that the party’s PDA stood for ‘Parivar (family) Development Authority,’ a jab at the SP’s focus on family interests. He used the analogy of a “frog in a well” to describe their limited perspective.

He also referenced the Leader of the Opposition, Mata Prasad Pandey, with a rooster analogy, implying that Pandey’s statements are influenced by others. Earlier, Pandey had defended the PDA slogan, saying these communities were crucial to the state’s growth.

The Chief Minister then detailed his government’s achievements since 2017, including improved law and order and non-discriminatory welfare schemes. He highlighted that Uttar Pradesh’s contribution to the national GDP has increased from 8% to 9.5%.
