Lucknow, Sep 5
Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Friday accused the BJP government of “extortion” and failing to provide basic facilities.
Speaking at a press conference at the SP office here, Yadav claimed that a challan of Rs 8 lakh accusing him of over-speeding was issued against his vehicle on the Agra Expressway.
“The vehicle given to us by the government is not even in good condition, yet such a challan was issued. The police are openly extorting money, and the entire system is being run by BJP people,” he alleged.
On the recent lathi charge on ABVP workers, Yadav said the video of the assault was painful to watch, calling it a fight between the “student council and the Vahini.”
