Ahead of Jayaprakash Narayan's birth anniversary, political tensions have escalated in Lucknow. A tall tin wall was erected at the gate of the Jayaprakash Narayan International Center (JPNIC), sparking controversy. Today, Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav is scheduled to attend an event at JPNIC to mark the occasion of Narayan's birth anniversary. Late last night, Akhilesh Yadav visited JPNIC and launched a sharp attack on the state government. He accused the government of preventing him from paying tribute to Jayaprakash Narayan and claimed that the government is trying to hide something. Akhilesh further alleged that the government has plans to sell the JPNIC. This incident highlights the political tension surrounding Jayaprakash Narayan's legacy, as opposition parties like the Samajwadi Party accuse the government of deliberately creating controversy around the center associated with the prominent socialist leader.
