“After the theft in the Ayodhya temple, the way you constituted a sham SIT and got an arbitrary report prepared to cover up the matter, society has completely lost faith in your words and assurances,” Yadav said.
He also referred to the controversy over the official figures of deaths during the Kumbh Mela, alleging that the numbers released by the government had been proven wrong.
“When there is a difference between the figures spoken and the figures written, which one should the public trust?” Yadav asked.
The SP chief’s remarks came a day after Adityanath, while addressing a gathering in Chitrakoot, claimed that 64,000 acres of government, traders’ and poor people’s land had been under illegal occupation when his government assumed office in 2017.
Adityanath alleged that “Samajwadi Party goons” had encroached upon public land by putting up the party’s flag and claimed that the recovered land was now being used for universities, medical colleges and investment projects creating employment opportunities.
Targeting the previous SP governments, the chief minister accused them of promoting dynastic politics, neglecting development and allowing lawlessness and land encroachments. He asserted that the BJP government had brought major changes in Uttar Pradesh’s infrastructure, governance and investment climate.
