The Uttar Pradesh Congress alleged that the Yogi Adityanath led Bharatiya Janata Party government had ruined the state in four-and-a-half years of its rule.

The Yogi Adityanath government will complete 54 months or four-and-a-half years in office on Sunday.

The Congress claimed that UP was number one in the country in crime while all sections of society, including youth, teachers, state employees, and women were facing hardship.

Referring to the latest data of the National Crime Records Bureau, UP Congress media coordinator Ashok Singh said the government claimed that criminals were either in jails or outside the state border but there was no let up in crime.

He said the latest report of the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE) had brought to the fore the magnitude of unemployment in UP. He claimed that several thousand posts of doctors, technicians, and nurses were vacant, while one lakh posts in police force and teachers were vacant in the state.

“The economy of the state is in a poor shape. The government makes a provision of Rs 200 crore for the farmers in the supplementary budget but allocates a budget of Rs 500 crore for the advertisement of false claims of development,” he alleged.

Ashok Singh said that the roots of organised corruption had deepened in the Yogi Adityanath government. He said the Yogi government's achievement was that he had played with the lives of the farmer youth in the last four-and-a-half years. He said the Yogi government was singularly responsible for the deaths due to COVID-19. He said as per the ICMR survey, the testing system in Uttar Pradesh was so poor that only one case per 100 active COVID-19 patients was detected.

He said the same was the case of dengue and other serious diseases, while the chief minister was vigorously promoting the establishment of PICU wards, 200 children died due to the deadly virus in Firozabad and Agra due to lack of medical facilities.
