Akhilesh Yadav Criticizes BJP's 'Foul' Projects Amidst Perfume Park Debate

SP leader Akhilesh Yadav criticized the BJP for promoting 'foul' projects like cowsheds while claiming his party focuses on positive initiatives like perfume parks. Uttar Pradesh Deputy CM Keshav Maurya countered, highlighting a disconnect with rural roots. The debate underscores a clash over development priorities.

Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav launched a verbal attack on the BJP, accusing it of favoring 'durgandh' (foul smell) through projects like gaushalas (cowsheds), while his party focuses on beneficial developments like perfume parks.

In a press meeting in Kannauj, Yadav highlighted the contrasting visions by urging locals to rid the region of BJP's divisive 'stench' and support growth-oriented policies. He implied that BJP's initiatives hinder Kannauj's progress.

Countering Yadav's statements, Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya criticized Yadav's comments on cow dung, suggesting a disconnect from agrarian values, which he warned could lead to political downfall for Yadav's party.
