Why Is UP "Going Down" In Key Development Parameters...: Akhilesh Yadav

Akhilesh Yadav, who is also the leader of opposition in Uttar Pradesh Assembly, targeted the Adityanath government over sugar mills payment issue.

Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Friday alleged that contrary to claims of development of the Yogi Adityanath government, Uttar Pradesh is lagging behind in several key parameters.

Talking to reporters here, Mr Yadav said the BJP government is making tall claims of development in the state, but "everyone is aware of the truth".

"Today all figures, whether of primary education or mid-day meal or you look at the data of NITI Aayog, Uttar Pradesh is continuously going down," he claimed.

The former chief minister also said that no books have been distributed in primary schools yet.
