No one understood why Yogi Adityanath’s government of Uttar Pradesh does not allow Samajwadi Party’s national president Akhilesh Yadav to celebrate the birth anniversary of Jayaprakash Narayan. Last year there was a big drama and Akhilesh Yadav somehow climbed the wall and reached the memorial built in the memory of Jayaprakash Narayan and garlanded him. It is noteworthy that this memorial was built by Akhilesh Yadav’s government. However, this year also the state government laid heavy siege in front of Akhilesh Yadav’s official residence before the birth anniversary of Jayaprakash Narayan on October 11. Barricades were put up all around and police were deployed so that Akhilesh could not go to pay tribute to JP. The reason given by the police is extremely ridiculous. It was said that the memorial was not cleaned and due to rain there would be insects there, which could pose a threat to the opposition leader.
Imagine, a third class student could have come up with a better excuse than this! However, if the memorial was not cleaned, then the question is why was the memorial not cleaned before the birth anniversary of Jayaprakash Narayan, whose movement led to the formation of the first non-Congress government in the country or leaders like Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Lal Krishna Advani who became ministers at the Centre? Does the government of Uttar Pradesh not consider the great freedom fighter JP as a hero or a great man? This fact is also interesting that Yogi Adityanath and the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh have two accounts on social media platform Yogi Adityanath did not bother to remember him. On this pretext, Akhilesh Yadav has challenged Nitish Kumar to break ties with BJP.
