BJP govt left migrants to die during COVID lockdown, scenes worse than Partition: Akhilesh Yadav

The pictures seen during the Covid pandemic "were not even seen during the Partition", Yadav claimed during a rally at Ginaut Bagh of Lalitpur district.

Lalitpur: Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Thursday attacked the Uttar Pradesh government, alleging that it left people to die and stopped them from entering the state while they were walking back home during the coronavirus lockdown.

The pictures seen during the Covid pandemic "were not even seen during the Partition", he alleged during a rally at Ginaut Bagh of Lalitpur district.

"Who can forget the pictures when a lockdown was imposed and our labourer brothers had to come from other places," Yadav said.
