Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav has launched a scathing attack on the ruling BJP over its handling of the flood crisis in Uttar Pradesh, accusing it of prioritizing event management at the cost of public welfare. As the floodwaters wreak havoc, Yadav questions the government's failure to conduct adequate relief operations.
The former chief minister took to social media, highlighting that despite the organisation of "super VVIP" rallies, the state continues to struggle with the aftermath of devastating floods. Official reports reveal that 402 villages across 37 tehsils have been impacted, affecting over 84,000 residents.
The situation remains dire, with widespread shortages of food and clean water, and healthcare services across several districts collapsing. Concerns over waterborne diseases and unsanitary conditions are mounting, as residents face mounting challenges amid the government's chaotic response.
