UP elections 2022: Akhilesh Yadav slams BJP govt over ABG bank fraud
Raebareli (Uttar Pradesh), February 21: Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Monday took a swipe at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over the recent bank fraud involving the ABG Group. Slamming BJP, who is running the Uttar Pradesh government, Yadav said that the government is not for the poor but the rich as the poor do not get loans easily whereas the "big industrialists loot the banks and run away." Addressing a public rally ahead of the fourth phase of Uttar Pradesh assembly elections, Yadav said, "This government (BJP) isn't a government for the poor, but the rich. We won't get a loan easily, will have to put our land and house for a mortgage, but big industrialists ran away after looting banks." The SP chief further exuded confidence in winning the ongoing polls and said that the pedestrians on the streets of Uttar Pradesh know that the BJP is losing the ongoing Assembly elections and the Samajwadi Party is winning. "Ask anyone on the road, and they'll all say SP will form the government," claimed Yadav.
