Akhilesh Yadav Steps Up Corruption Charges Against UP BJP, Cites Rigged Hiring and Farmer Harm

The Samajwadi Party leader sharpened his attack with fresh claims of manipulated recruitment in the state.

Overview

  • In a Friday statement, Yadav alleged the government is running rigged recruitment, pointing to appointments at Lakhimpur Urban Co-operative Bank and claiming collusion to parcel out jobs and budgets.
  • He said 90% of the PDA community is being sidelined, asserting their rights and reservations have been taken away under the current regime.
  • On Thursday, he accused officials of enabling fertiliser black-marketing that left farmers in queues and facing police lathicharge, with shortages he said ruined crops.
  • He claimed a pervasive commission culture, including a 10% cut from MLA funds, and linked graft to failed public works such as collapsing Jal Jeevan Mission water tanks and pothole-ridden roads.
  • He disputed the chief minister’s remarks on metro operations by saying Lucknow’s service began under the SP government, and he predicted voters would oust the BJP in 2027.
