Samajwadi Celebration (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav has sparked a row together with his touch upon defence manufacturing clusters in Uttar Pradesh.
Yadav held a press convention on Tuesday after he met some farmers from the Bundelkhand area. The farmers had come to complain to the opposition chief about their land being acquired and no or little compensation being paid.
Referring to their case, Yadav stated, “Land was earlier required to set up a defence manufacturing corridor near Jhansi. Tall claims were made that missiles, bombs, fighter jets, automatic rifles, etc. would be made there. But I have learnt that nothing has been manufactured there. In fact, not even a sutli bomb has been produced there.”
A sutli bomb is a small firecracker normally bought throughout Diwali celebrations. He stated that had the Bundelkhand defence hall been useful, India’s dependence on overseas weapons would have lowered.
Yadav, nevertheless, stated that his social gathering helps the Centre for any motion in opposition to the Pahalgam terror assault. “We should follow whatever instructions have been issued for the mock drill on May 7,” he stated.
Yadav’s remarks concerning the defence hall led to robust response from Bharatiya Janata Celebration (BJP) chief Anila Singh.
“When the whole country is united against the terror attack by Pakistani’s in Pahalgam and backing Prime Minister Modi, Akhilesh Yadav is questioning our preparedness. This shows how serious is he about the nation’s honour,” stated Singh.
She stated that at a time when even senior opposition leaders from different political events had been supporting the central authorities, Yadav was questioning India’s defence may.
She stated that Yadav was ill-informed and that India had develop into a prime producer of arms and ammunition and would present its may by bringing the Pahalgam terrorists to their knees.
