Samajwadi Party MP Awadhesh Prasad on Saturday raised strong objections to a challan worth Rs 8 lakh issued against his party chief Akhilesh Yadav's car, saying that this was beyond his understanding.
Taking a swipe at the Yogi Adityanath government, Prasad argued that one can buy a new car with this much money. "This is beyond my understanding. How was a challan worth Rs 8,00,000 issued? A new car can be bought with this much money. This is the BJP government. This is CM Yogi's government. He should look into how the conduct of government officials has changed. It will be harmful for them," the Ayodhya MP told ANI. His remarks come after the concerned authorities issued a challan of Rs 8 lakh for cars in Akhilesh Yadav's convoy. Yadav on Friday held a presser and informed that the challan has been issued for his cars in his convoy and for overspeeding on the expressway. "Yesterday, I recieved the challan for my car. How much do you think the challan would be? The challan for overspeeding on the expressway of our government cars is worth Rs 8 lakh. I asked them to submit the same immediately," the former Uttar Pradesh CM said in Lucknow. "However, I will trace the person issuing the challan to find out whether he is a BJP person. The challan has been issued for the cars of his convoy," Yadav added. Moreover, Yadav targeted the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government on UP teacher recruitment, saying, "Jobs are not in the agenda of the BJP. If it were so, 69000 teachers would not have to protest, the government would not have closed 27000 primary schools." On the occasion of Teacher's Day, he said that a true teacher teaches positivity and a progressive path, showing how to live with humans and respect each other in diversity. "A teacher is the one who defines personality and character...The teacher guides us and works to boost our morale. The true teacher teaches positivity and a progressive path. They also teach how to live with humans, respect each other in this diversity and to live together," he said while addressing a press conference. "When the institution is good, then not only the society but the student also sees a better way; but BJP is destroying the system," Yadav added. (ANI)
