Akhilesh Yadav Denies SP Taking Part In Religious Politics, Questions BJPs Work In Uttar Pradesh | ABP News

ABP News hosted a discussion on the Union Budget 2024, featuring various political perspectives. Akhilesh Yadav, during the discussion, emphasized that the Samajwadi Party (SP) avoids politics based on religion, which is evident from his initiatives like designing the Lucknow-Agra Expressway and creating metro systems in five cities across Uttar Pradesh. He criticized the BJP for allegedly using religious politics as a tactic, citing the lack of metro development in Gorakhpur under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Varanasi despite plans and paperwork during Prime Minister Modi's tenure. Yadav questioned whether the delay in metro projects in Varanasi is due to interference from people in Delhi and Lucknow, highlighting what he perceives as a disparity in the implementation of infrastructure projects.
