Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav launched a sharp attack on the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, claiming that his home constituency of Gorakhpur has been turned into a hub of corrupt practices, which he termed as 'Gorakh dhanda'. Addressing a press conference, Yadav stated, "One can imagine the situation in the state when the CM is not able to take care of his home turf."
Allegations of Neglect
Yadav highlighted the deteriorating law and order situation in Gorakhpur, accusing the state government of turning a blind eye to the region's development. He pointed out that the city, which is the CM's parliamentary constituency, has seen little progress despite being in power for years.
Political Context
The remarks come amid rising political tensions in Uttar Pradesh, with the opposition frequently criticizing the ruling party's governance. Gorakhpur, a key political stronghold, has been a focal point for both the ruling party and the opposition.
Yadav's comments are expected to intensify the political debate ahead of upcoming local elections. He called for the people of Gorakhpur to hold the CM accountable for the alleged mismanagement.
