GG News Bureau
Ghaziabad, 24th Jan. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday slammed the opposition parties (Congress, BSP, SP) for not helping common people during the time of Covid crisis.
Yogi urged the voters not to elect these parties which did not come forward to help them during the pandemic.
“During the Corona crisis, Congress, Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party were missing. Only central and state governments or workers of Bharatiya Janata Party were working to save the lives of each and every person. If they were not your partner in times of crisis, then how can you choose them as your partner at the time of the election?” questioned Yogi.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath made these comments while interacting with a gathering of intellectuals in Ghaziabad.
During this, Yogi also took a jibe at Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav over his promise of free electricity.
“Before 2017, there was no electricity. We need to ask those promising 300 units of free electricity how they will distribute electricity for free when there was no electricity during their tenure,” said Adityanath.
Notably, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav had promised that if SP is voted to power in 2022 assembly elections, the SP government would give 300 units of free power to all households in Uttar Pradesh every month and free electricity to farmers for irrigation.
Elections for 403 assembly constituencies in UP are scheduled to be held in seven phases starting Feb 10. Voting will be held on February 10, 14, 20, 23, 27 and March 3 & 7. The counting of votes and result declaration will be held on March 10.
