“It is a matter of concern. A newborn lost his life due to unsafe delivery on a road in Hazratganj in Lucknow recently (on August 13) as the ambulance did not turn up timely, exposing false claims made by incumbent government in the state,” he said at an event in Jajeda village of Mainpuri district.

About the 2024 general election, he urged his party workers to behave properly with voters to make them feel convenient with the Samajwadi Party. He expressed confidence that the SP will emerge victorious in the next year’s general election.

Referring to the relief granted by the Supreme Court to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in a 2019 criminal defamation case, Akhilesh accused the BJP government of being biased and busy settling scores with its political opponents.
