Akhilesh tweets about problems of potato farmers
SP chief Akhilesh Yadav attacked the BJP government by tweeting and said, "Potato will change the government this time." He tweeted about the problems being faced by the potato farmers of the state. He said that in the BJP governments which give the slogan of Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas, votes are taken from Dalits and backward classes but representation is given only to upper castes. BJP does not give rights and leadership to Dalits or OBCs.
Akhilesh said BJP makes lofty promises to Dalits and backward class people but shows its true colors as soon as it wins the elections. Dalits and backward people are kept away from the mainstream of power.
