Political fireworks lit up Lucknow as UP Minister Sanjay Nishad eviscerated Samajwadi Party head Akhilesh Yadav for a power-packed yet achievement-void stint. In Friday’s press interaction, he lamented, ‘Decades at the helm, but no public benefit steps taken. That’s why UP struggles persist.’
Nishad touted BJP’s economic push: ‘Investment pathways are our priority—what’s the opposition’s problem?’ He issued a direct challenge. ‘Quantify your investments and growth rates from your era. Nothing to report? Then quit obstructing our welfare drive.’
Under CM Yogi’s leadership, UP aims supreme, Nishad asserted. ‘Promises made, promises kept—no lapses. Speeding up progress remains paramount.’ He touched on sundry topics even-handedly: court access for all like Avimukteshwaranand; bolstering India against visa discriminations like Maurya’s; agency autonomy in Umashankar matter tempered by compassion.
The opposition’s irrelevance amused him. ‘Voters erased them. Now, frantic statement-spamming for existence. Unacceptable in current politics—no public tether means no audience. Don’t take their noise seriously.’
This verbal joust amplifies the governance versus gripe narrative, positioning BJP as the development dynamo against SP’s shadow in Uttar Pradesh’s charged atmosphere.
