“Serving 56 delicacies on gold plate to foreign delegates while…”: Akhilesh Yadav on G20 dinner
Sep 10, 2023
Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], September 10 : Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav slammed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government at the Centre for serving a wide range of Indian delicacies to G20 dignitaries while crores of people across the country are dependent on just "five kilos of food grains".
"Serve fifty-six bhog in a gold plate to foreign guests… and crores of people in the country are dependent on just five kilos of food grains!" read a rough translation of the Samajwadi Party chief's post on 'X' on Sunday, two days after its candidate won the high-stake Ghosi bye-election on Friday.
"The next election will be fought to erase this distinction," Akhilesh Yadav said referring to the five state Legislative Assembly elections scheduled at the end of this year and also the crucial 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
"Pretense is also deception or it can also be called a synonym," he said adding that people have now woken up from their sleep pointing at the false promises given by the BJP to the people.
"The public has woken up from the sleep of false golden dreams shown by BJP, anyway hungry eyes cannot have golden dreams…," he added.
Earlier on Saturday Akhilesh Yadav took another dig at the BJP for losing the Ghosi bye-election on Friday. "Someone is asking, does G in G20 stand for Ghosi?" read a rough translation of Akhilesh Yadav's cryptic post in Hindi.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the conclusion of the two-day-long G20 Summit on Sunday which saw participation by heads of state of the grouping and heads of international organisations. The G20 declaration was adopted on Saturday, the first day of the Summit.
Samajwadi Party's Sudhakar Singh won the Ghosi bypoll defeating BJP's Dara Singh Chauhan by a big margin of 42,759 votes. This was the first win by the opposition INDIA alliance and a test for unity of the opposition bloc as none of them fielded candidates in Ghosi and chose to support the Samajwadi Party candidate.
