BI News, Lucknow: Former Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav was a continuous attacker on Congress for the last fifteen days. For this reason, there were speculations about a break in the India alliance in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. But on Thursday, Akhilesh Yadav refuted the speculations and said that talk of alliance had been talked about earlier. It has happened now and will continue to happen in the future also. In Madhya Pradesh, we have contested the elections on the strength of our workers and we hope that the results will be in our favor.
Akhilesh Yadav was addressing the media on the occasion of the launch of the Social Justice Yatra at the SP office on Thursday. He told that this journey is to make the public aware. This journey is to save democracy and the Constitution.
On Swami Prasad Maurya’s statements regarding Hindu religion, he said that there should not be hatred on the basis of caste and religion in the society. Religion should be accepted as it is. Even journalists should not ask questions or report news. The fight for social justice should continue and caste census should be conducted. Through this, development of all sections is possible.
Akhilesh Yadav, in his address on this occasion, said that the poor, farmers, labourers, backward classes, Dalits, tribals and minorities of Uttar Pradesh have not yet got their rights and respect. Inflation, corruption and injustice are at their peak under the BJP government. BJP’s policies are anti-PDA. PDA Samajwadi Social Justice Yatra will work to make the public aware about these questions.

He said that unemployed youth are not getting jobs. If the old pension is restored and the way education is being handed over to private hands, it is not possible for the poor to study. How will the poor be able to study in primary, secondary, higher secondary, intermediate, medical colleges? The kind of business going on in education should be stopped. This journey is being undertaken with all these questions in mind.

Akhilesh said that anti-democratic forces are active today. The struggle for social justice and socialist achievements of Netaji Shri Mulayam Singh Yadav along with the egalitarian principles of Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar and the principles and ideology of socialist Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia is to get his rights and respect.
He said that some capitalists have captured the country’s property. 5 percent industrial houses have captured 60 percent of the country’s wealth. Everyone has to be made aware of the truth of economic and social inequality. So that this increased social and economic inequality can be reduced.
Yadav said that Samajwadi Party emphasizes on adopting the price bandho policy of Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia. Farmers should get profits on crops. There should be no tax on machinery, equipment, fertilizers, seeds and pesticides used in farming. Electricity and water should be free. Farming is the biggest loss.
SP President Akhilesh Yadav said that the yatra will conclude on November 25 in Bijnor. We demand caste census from the government. It should be done in the entire country so that it can be known which are the castes of the society which have not got the benefits of development.
