  "account": "Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath criticized the Samajwadi Party (SP) for damaging the education system in Uttar Pradesh. He accused the SP of gambling with young people's futures, stating, “SP is not a party that helps the boat of education cross the river, but one that sinks it.” During the SP's four governments, education, employment, and development faced serious challenges, with riots, curfews, and lawlessness becoming the state's identity.\n\nYogi Adityanath addressed a conference in Ghaziabad, supporting BJP candidates Shrichand Sharma and Dinesh Goyal for the Meerut-Saharanpur Teachers and Graduates Constituencies, respectively. He advocated for expanding medical facilities for teachers, establishing universities, and government recruitment. He also appealed to voters to send both candidates back to the Legislative Council.\n\nThe Chief Minister alleged that during the SP government's rule, religious events like Durga Puja pandals could not be organized during Navratri. He emphasized the importance of religious freedom and the opportunity for every person to express their faith without discrimination.\n\nYogi Adityanath highlighted the government's commitment to providing medical facilities to teachers from all levels of education, including aided, self-financed, and non-aided institutions. He also announced the establishment of various universities and educational institutions under the BJP government, such as Major Dhyan Chand Sports University in Meerut, Atal Bihari Vajpayee Medical University in Lucknow, Ayush University in Gorakhpur, and an Agriculture University in Kushinagar.\n\nHe questioned the SP's selection process for the Legislative Council elections, accusing the party of giving tickets to their own relatives and wealthy industrialists, indicating a lack of adherence to its declared principles. Yogi Adityanath expressed confidence in the BJP's performance in the Legislative Council elections, stating that it would be better than its previous Rajya Sabha election results.\n\nHe also discussed various infrastructure developments, including the 12-lane expressway between Delhi and Meerut, Namo Bharat rapid rail, Ganga Expressway, Noida International Airport, metro expansion, and the Varanasi ropeway project. CM Yogi cited the development of various religious sites and heritage establishments as evidence of the state's growth and progress.",
