UP Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak attacked the Samajwadi Party alleging that the party leaders are minting money in the name of socialism and their old leaders.

Speaking in support of the motion of thanks to the Governor’s address in the Assembly on Thursday, Brajesh Pathak said champions of socialism like Lohia, Rajnarayan, Janeshwar Mishra were true socialists who did not even have a torn dhoti when they left the world, but the socialists who are seen today are fake.

He said, “It has to be seen how the bank accounts of the contractors wearing red cap (SP MLAs) have crores of rupees which were opened with just Rs 10.”

He said they (the SP leaders) should answer from where the money comes in their account.

Pathak said during the SP regime, drinking water was supplied by train to Bundelkhand, but today water is being given to every house there through a tap.

“26900 MW power is being supplied daily to the state. We have a capacity of 30462 MW per day , when the state was reeling under acute shortage of power during the previous regime, ” he claimed.

He targeted Akhilesh Yadav without naming him saying , “had heard that the Raja gets disturbed without the Rajpat. Watched it today too in the house”.

The deputy CM several times taunted the SP on the pretext of Shivpal Yadav. He said, “Ask the uncle who had been cheated several times. The uncle does the good thing and credit is given to someone else.”

He asked the SP members where was the law and order during their rule. “The situation was such that a car entered the CM’s office by putting a policeman on the bonnet of the car. No action was ever taken on it,” he made the allegation which was vehemently opposed by the SP members.
