Samajwadi Party (SP) national president Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government for pursuing a “one nation, one businessman” agenda that could be fatal for the country. He alleged that the BJP is working on a model that aims to consolidate every major business in the country into the hands of a select few.
In a post on social media, Yadav claimed that the BJP leadership aims to place the country’s entire economic system under the control of a few select individuals. He alleged that instead of seeking donations from diverse sources, the government is attempting to consolidate major businesses in the hands of a limited group. According to him, individuals who unquestioningly approve decisions have been positioned within the government and the party organisation to fulfil what he described as an “insatiable hunger” for money.
The SP leader warned that monopolistic practices are dangerous for any nation, whether in political, economic, or social spheres. He alleged that frequent changes in policies and rules by the BJP government are intended to weaken other industrial houses while restricting economic opportunities to select groups. He said that such actions are pushing the country towards a serious and risky situation.
Yadav further claimed that such a model would lead to unchecked profiteering, rising inflation, and large-scale corruption. He alleged that rules would be altered to favour monopolistic companies, consumers would face arbitrary charges, and workers would be subjected to exploitation through what he termed a system of “less pay, more work.”
He also said that farmers and the PDA communities, including Pichda (Backward Classes), Dalit, and Alpsankhyak (Minorities), would not be heard, resulting in nearly 95 per cent of the population facing exploitation.
Calling for unity, Yadav said it was time for the country to collectively oppose monopoly and make it clear that such a system is unacceptable.
