Yogi's achievement nothing more than media blitzkrieg

Lucknow: Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday mounted a scathing attack on the Bhartiya Janata Party and said that the biggest achievement of the Yogi Adityanath government in UP was the media blitzkrieg it was creating at government expense. "This government has mastered the art of making false propaganda through posters and hoardings. They spend money on creating a blitzkrieg so that attention is diverted form ground realities. They will show you a building form USA and a flyover from Kolkata and pass it off as their own," he said.

Speaking at a news conclave here, Akhilesh said that their hoardings term their leaders as 'dumdaar' but they never talk about those 'dumdaar' (animals with tail) that destroy a farmer's crop.

"Do they ever talk about Gorakhpur where a trader is beaten to death by the police? Or about potholes on the roads? How much money has been spent on cleaning the Ganga and why is it not clean as yet?" he asked.
