Akhilesh Has No Right to Speak on JPNIC": UP Dy CM Pathak

Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], July 5 (ANI): Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak on Saturday slammed Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav over his remarks on the Jayaprakash Narayan Interpretation Centre ( JPNIC).

Pathak accused Akhilesh of turning JPNIC into a hub of corruption during his government, saying that the latter had no right to speak about the socialist leader Jayaprakash Narayan.

He added that the current government has handed JPNIC back to the Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) to complete the project properly and dedicate it to the public.

Speaking to ANI, Brajesh Pathak said, "...As far as JPNIC (Jayaprakash Narayan Interpretation Centre) is concerned, Akhilesh Yadav has no right to speak about JPNIC. Jai Prakash Narayan ji was a strong speaker of the socialist movement...Today, you are sitting in the lap of the Congress party. The people who pushed the country into an emergency are being hailed from your platforms. You should not talk about the socialist movement. The socialist movement is not safe in your hands. You are a supporter of the capitalist system, and you have always promoted such elements who always indulge in hooliganism and anarchy. You had made JPNIC a den of corruption. Our government has done the work of dedicating the public money to the public by handing over JPNIC to LDA again. It will be completed soon and dedicated to the public..."

Pathak continued his attack on Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, saying that the people of the state are fully aware of the party's actions.
