• He claimed women are unsafe and said crimes such as rape, murder and robbery occur daily, asserting that atrocities against Dalits are highest under the current regime.
• Yadav accused the administration of colluding with criminals and failing on health and education, arguing that justice is unattainable while the BJP remains in power.
• He blamed Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for the condition of the Gomti and other rivers, alleging the BJP spoiled the SP-built riverfront and is only pretending to clean it now.
