Samajwadi Party (SP) national president Akhilesh Yadav launched a scathing attack on the BJP government, alleging that “new mafias” have been created in the state. He claimed that encounter mafia, cough syrup mafia, NEET mafia, and scam mafia have emerged during the government’s tenure.
Speaking to the media in Kanpur on Friday, Akhilesh Yadav said since power generation has not increased in nine years, the electricity being supplied to the state is the result of projects implemented by the previous Samajwadi Party government. He claimed that Kanpur’s image has deteriorated under the BJP government, and that issues of Ganga pollution, corruption, and law and order have tarnished the city’s image.

He said that large-scale investment is possible in Kanpur if the right environment and clear policies are in place. If a Samajwadi Party government is formed, Etawah, Kannauj, and Kanpur will be developed as a “trade triangle.”

He also promised to revive closed industrial units and develop a riverfront project.
The SP chief targeted the government on the issue of youth unemployment, farmers’ problems, and rising crime. He said development in the state has been stalled and privatization is on the rise. The Samajwadi Party will prioritize development and social justice.
