Yogi Adityanath criticizes Samajwadi Party during UP election rallies

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has launched sharp criticisms against the Samajwadi Party (SP) during election rallies in Lucknow and Ghaziabad. Addressing teacher and graduate voter conventions, Adityanath accused the SP of being an enemy of education, alleging that their previous administrations neglected educational institutions and allowed professional criminals to dominate them.

In Lucknow, the Chief Minister supported BJP candidates Avnish Kumar Singh and Umesh Dwivedi for the Legislative Council elections. He contrasted the SP's record with his government's focus on strengthening healthcare, employment, and basic infrastructure, specifically mentioning the establishment of medical colleges.

During a rally in Ghaziabad supporting candidates Shrichand Sharma and Dinesh Goyal, Adityanath claimed that under SP rule, the state was defined by riots and curfews. He highlighted the current ability of citizens to hold religious festivals and the Kanwar Yatra without fear, contrasting it with the perceived chaos of the past. He also pledged that all teachers, regardless of their institution type, would receive expanded medical facilities.
