Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav on Monday, 22 August, accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led central government of slapping false cases against Opposition leaders ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections with the intention of diverting people's attention from real issues like price rise and unemployment.
He also alleged that journalists who pointed out the mistakes of the Union government were also targeted in this manner.
He further said that the BJP was not able to stomach the improvements brought in by Delhi's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the education sector, despite The New York Times appreciating it.
