In Uttar Pradesh, more than 11,000 loudspeakers have been removed from religious places within 72 hours, so the sound of more than this has been slowed down. Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray, who gave rise to the loudspeaker controversy, has also praised this move of the UP government. Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party President and Leader of Opposition Akhilesh Yadav has said tauntingly that the government has given the number of loudspeakers removed from the shrines, but when will it tell how many unemployed people were given employment.
Akhilesh Yadav, while talking to reporters after a program in village Nagla Moti of Karhal, said that the government is telling that loudspeakers have been removed from so many religious places. But when will the government tell how many unemployed have been given employment. Farmers’ wheat is not being procured. People are worried about inflation.
The SP President said that Baba’s government is misleading the people to divert attention from inflation and public problems. Police is busy in removing the loudspeaker. Crime is increasing in the state. The councilor was shot dead in Shamli today. If the police remove the loudspeaker, then when will it work on law and order. All this is being done to divert attention. No one got employment in the state. Business is coming to an end. Employment opportunities are also being lost.
