Yadav family feud scripted event to divert attention from Akhilesh Yadav govt's failures, says BJP

BJP on Wednesday attacked the Samajwadi Party and claimed that the “high voltage drama” in the Yadav family was a ploy to divert attention from the failures of the Akhilesh Yadav government. 

The party’s national secretary Shrikant Sharma went a step further criticizing the feud in the Yadav family as a “fixed match”.

“Akhilesh Yadav has failed on all fronts. The high voltage drama we are all seeing is a scripted event to ensure that the media and public do not pay attention to his failures,” he said.

The BJP leader discussed a high court order rapping the Uttar Pradesh government regarding its failures in the health sector to hit out at the SP, BSP and Congress. 

“The state’s health has deteriorated but the wealth of the Yadav first family, the Congress first family and that of Mayawati and her relatives has steadily increased,” Sharma said.

He discussed the woes afflicting the people and claimed that there are only 2,905 primary health centres in UP as the state faces acute shortage of 1,288 such centres. 

He further added that whereas there was a need of 3,092 specialist doctors, only 484 were available and health workers were unavailable in nearly 14,291 of 20,521 sub-centres.

Apart from brutally attacking the ruling SP, Sharma said that only BJP was capable of solving the state’s problems regarding education, health and other facilities. 

Meanwhile, Union Minister M Venkaiah Naidu pointed out that allegations of BJP’s hand being behind the SP feud was completely baseless.
