A recent post by Akhilesh Yadav on his social media platform X (formerly Twitter) sheds light on the struggles of farmers in Uttar Pradesh as they struggle for essential resources, specifically fertilizers. In a post echoing the voices of many farmers, Yadav mentioned that farmers are questioning the full form of DAP – an essential fertilizer, Di-Ammonium Phosphate. This query represents the reality for countless farmers lining up across the state for fertilizers critical to their agricultural needs. The farmers’ struggles shortage of DAP and other fertilizers underscore ongoing challenges within the state’s agricultural supply chain, causing significant frustration among the farming community.
Further escalating the political tension, Yadav stated that today’s “PDA says, we don’t want BJP!” PDA here, in his rhetoric, likely represents the collective voice of ‘Pichde (Backward), Dalit, and Alpashankhyak (Minorities),’ communities that Yadav frequently advocates for. His statement hints at dissatisfaction and disappointment among these groups regarding the ruling party’s governance, particularly on issues such as resource allocation, social equity, and rural welfare.
Yadav’s post also included commentary on the “Film City” project that was promised in Uttar Pradesh, a high-profile initiative intended to boost the state’s economy and attract investment. Despite being publicized as a groundbreaking venture, the Film City project has yet to take shape. Yadav sarcastically remarked that, although Film City is nowhere to be seen, it appears that a “real location shooting” of a film has begun in the state.
This comment pointedly alludes to recent events, including a high-profile raid conducted in Sarnath, where authorities uncovered a significant gambling operation in an exclusive building, leading to further political controversy. In a dramatic twist, some involved parties managed to evade the scene, raising questions about enforcement efficiency and accountability.
For Yadav, this episode represents yet another “scene” in what he describes as a serial story of BJP-led corruption, calling it “Vardivala Lootera” or “The Uniformed Robber.” This reference reflects Yadav’s critique of systemic corruption, positioning it as a persistent issue under BJP’s governance. By invoking this imagery, Yadav urges voters and the public to remain vigilant, suggesting that such “scenes” of corruption are being orchestrated in various facets of governance.
As the state prepares for upcoming elections, such statements amplify political rivalry, with Akhilesh Yadav’s party standing as a strong opposition voice for addressing issues that impact everyday citizens, especially farmers and marginalized communities, while challenging the ruling party’s narrative on development and governance.
