MATHURA: Slamming the Centre over demonetisation and the GST, Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav said today that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was not prepared to accept the reality of their impact.
The former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister also accused the BJP of misleading the people on issues such as the loan waiver for farmers and corruption.
Yadav, while addressing the people at the foundation stone laying ceremony of the Yadav Dharmshala in Vrindaban, said there was no other party that “lies as much as the BJP does”.
From luring farmers with the loan waiver scheme to corruption and increasing the income of the common man, the BJP has “deliberately mislead the people to the extent that my party could not come to power,” Yadav said.
He alleged that during the elections in UP, the BJP did not give the specifics of the loan waiver scheme for farmers and later riders after riders were introduced which resulted in the majority being deprived of the benefits.
Yadav claimed that demonetisation and Goods and Services Tax (GST) had forced the people to come out on the road.
While small traders have been badly hit due to demonetisation and the GST, the youth have been rendered unemployed, he alleged.
It is sad that the Prime Minister is not prepared to accept the true picture of the impact of demonetisation and GST, Yadav said. (AGENCIES)
