Samajwadi Party ‘gang of dacoits’, should apologise for ‘loot’ of Uttar Pradesh exchequer, says Adityanath
“SP means loot and extortion, SP means a gang of dacoits,” Mr. Adityanath said; Uttar Pradesh had shed its earlier image of a state plagued by poor governance and insecurity, he said
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath declared the Samajwadi Party a "gang of dacoits" on August 29, 2026, and urged its president Akhilesh Yadav to apologize to the people for the "loot" of the state's finances while in power. The Chief Minister laid the foundation stones for 80 development projects worth over ₹305 crore in Deoria, highlighting the state's transformation from a "BIMARU" (Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh) region to one with good governance, security, and employment.
Adityanath criticized the previous SP-Congress governments for poor governance, corruption, and failure to address issues like encephalitis, which claimed the lives of 50,000 children in 40 years. He emphasized the importance of electing competent public representatives for the state's progress.
