Akhilesh Yadav alleged that the BJP government has lined up a series of programmes to herald the start of the corridor only to deflect people’s attention from PM’s failure to double the income of farmers.
Samajwadi Party president and former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Akhilesh Yadav has started off another battle of credit by claiming that the Kashi Vishwanath Corridor in Varanasi was approved during his term and there was documentary evidence of it.
He alleged that the BJP government has lined up a series of programmes to herald the start of the corridor only to deflect people’s attention from PM’s failure to double the income of farmers.
“All of you know who made the promise of doubling the income of the farmers. Today due to price rise fertilisers are not available, so how will the income of the farmers be doubled?” asked Yadav.
“Just so that public does not ask this question, they are bringing Kashi Vishvanath Corridor. And if there is any cabinet which passed the Kashi Vishvanath Corridor, it was Samajwadi Party’s government’s. We will provide you with the documents. Because this time, we will talk with proof,” he added.
Yadav’s claim comes a day before Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to inaugurate the first phase of the ambitious Kashi Vishwanath Corridor, which has been built as a mega project and is expected to boost tourism in the prime minister’s parliamentary constituency Varanasi.
The inauguration of the state-of-the-art infrastructure surrounding the historic Kashi Vishwanath Temple near the iconic Dashashwamedh Ghat on December 13 comes ahead of the assembly polls in UP early next year.
The corridor project is the latest flashpoint between the BJP and the SP locked in a fierce contest. Akhilesh in recent weeks has claimed that his government either started or approved projects being inaugurated by the BJP government, including Purvanchal Express and Saryu Canal Nation Project.
Yadav had also claimed the Jewar Airport – touted as one of the biggest infrastructural projects in Uttar Pradesh – was originally a project proposed by his government in Firozabad, but the Centre’s did not give the necessary approvals back then. Akhilesh Yadav ruled UP from 2012 to 2017 and was succeeded by Yogi Adityanath.
