Akhilesh Yadav, the president of the Samajwadi Party, expressed strong criticism of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in Uttar Pradesh during a visit to Sultanpur. He addressed the violent protests by workers from the Hosiery Complex in Noida Phase 2, who are demanding increased wages. Yadav stated that 'injustice has reached its peak' in the state, pointing out that while wages have been raised in other states, laborers in Uttar Pradesh have seen no such relief. The protests escalated into violence, with protesters vandalizing vehicles and clashing with police. Yadav accused the BJP of operating like an autocracy rather than a democracy, failing to listen to the workers' demands. He emphasized that the government's neglect of labor issues undermines its efforts to attract investment, questioning how factories can function without fair treatment of laborers. Yadav's remarks reflect broader concerns about economic justice and labor rights in the region.
