Akhilesh lacked will to work, power to decide: Aseem Arun

Lucknow, Apr 28 (UNI) Uttar Pradesh's Minister of State for Social Welfare (Independent Charge) Aseem Arun on Monday said that the Yogi government's development model embodies 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas'.
In a statement issued here, Arun described Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's bulldozer as a symbol of both strength and strict governance, enabling rapid infrastructure growth while cracking down on illegal encroachments.
He said that the CM takes decisive, well-thought-out actions, unlike Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav, whom he accused of lacking both the will and strength to govern effectively. He said that the government is working for all religions and castes without favouring any particular community.
Launching a scathing attack on Akhilesh, the Minister highlighted the atrocities faced by deprived sections during his tenure and praised the Yogi government's focus on development and youth welfare. He said Akhilesh's narrow mindset and discriminatory policies led to his ouster by the public.
Recalling the SP chief's tenure between 2012 to 2017, he said atrocities against Scheduled Castes and Backward Classes under the SP government are still fresh in public memory. He accused Akhilesh of insulting Baba Saheb Bhimrao Ambedkar by changing the name of a medical college in Kannauj and rejecting a statue of Lord Buddha.
Arun also alleged that Akhilesh disrespected Mahamaya by defacing a district named after her. He demanded that Akhilesh explain his intentions to the public and apologise.
He said Akhilesh is now trying to mislead the SC and the poor, but the public will not be deceived. He also pointed out that Akhilesh had halted scholarships for SC children, which the Yogi government later restored.
The Minister pointed out that the unemployment rate, which stood at 13–14 percent during the SP regime, has dropped to 3 percent under the Yogi government. He said the government not only provided government jobs but also promoted youth entrepreneurship through interest-free loans under programs like 'CM Yuva'.
Highlighting transparency in police recruitment, he said that during Akhilesh's tenure, corruption marred recruitment, citing the example where 56 out of 86 UPPCS candidates came from a single caste. In contrast, he said, recruitment under the Yogi government are fair and transparent, with the recent PCS J exam completed in a record eight months.
Arun said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi and CM Yogi, UP is on the path of rapid development, working for all sections of society without vote-bank considerations. He asserted that UP will play a key role in making India the world’s third-largest economy.
