Slamming the Centre, Akhilesh Yadav put forth a question about the kind of message being spread and promoted by the ruling government.

Yadav also suggested the party to read the philosophy of socialist political leader Ram Manohar Lohia. He said speaking to a news agency, "Neither did they (BJP) take ‘Sabka Saath’ (everyone along) nor did they do ‘Sabka Vikas’ (all-round development). They only spread ‘avishwas’ (scepticism) among people”. He later accused the Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government of stopping all welfare initiatives taken during his tenures like the setting up of potato and grain mandis (markets) in Mainpuri.

The SP leader further added that the NDA is ruling like the British, who followed the divide and rule policy. The BJP is dividing Hindus and Muslims, he said. Talking about the 2021 Census, Akhilesh Yadav added that it is under process, but the government is not going to conduct the enumeration on the basis of caste. He also compared BJP with Congress and said that they are ignoring caste-based Census like Congress’ UPA govt.
