And if the youth do not have a future, then the future of the state and our country will not be good," Akhilesh told reporters here."I am witnessing that the people of the Bharatiya Janata Party are speaking lies sitting inside the state assembly. They are claiming that there is a 24-hour power supply. But here, locals are telling us that there is no electricity. And if the electricity is supplied, it has been made costlier. A lot of money is being collected from them."He further alleged that "GST is being levied on the agricultural implements of the farmers, therefore making their tools costlier. This inflation is due to profiteering. This government want to make a profit".Earlier on Tuesday, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath hit out at SP and stated that the party had left no stone unturned to defame Prayagraj.Speaking in the State Assembly during the UP budget session, the CM said, "They (Samajwadi Party) left no stone unturned to defame Prayagraj.

Some people were saying in Parliament that thousands of people have died in Maha Kumbh but 28,000 people were reunited with their families during Maha Kumbh.""Samajwadi Party and Congress only want to defame India. Their fight may be against BJP, but sometimes by fighting against BJP, they go against India..." he further said.Yogi Adityanath stated that that the BJP government had been giving money to the people of the state as per policies without discrimination further stating that Samajwadi Party when in power was only giving money to the people associated with the party."For the last eight and a half years, money is being given to the public from the 'Mukhyamantri Vivekadhin Kosh' without any discrimination on the basis of caste, region, language.
