Akhilesh Yadav questions Yogi's silence on Gorakhpur deaths

Lucknow/UNI:  Hitting out at Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, who has been consistently attacking the Congress government in Rajasthan over the death of 100 infants in a Kota hospital, Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Friday asked as to why Mr Yogi was silent on the deaths of children in Gorakhpur.

Talking to mediapersons, Yadav said the UP CM was raising questions on the death of the infants in a Kota hospital since the past three days but he is quiet on the children who died due to the administration of wrong medicines in Gorakhpur during the past twelve months.

Further, the SP leader said maybe the UP CM does not know that about a thousand children, who Mr Yadav alleged, have died after being administered wrong medicines in Gorakhpur. Who is responsible for that? he asked. This kind of an inhuman act has never happened in the world, he said.

Yadav said the death of children is a serious and grave matter and politics should not be done over it. The toll of the children who died in Gorakhpur could increase, he averred.

Once the Samajwadi Party government comes into power in the state, the whole figure will be released.

Targeting the Centre over the Citizenship (Amendment) Act yet again, Akhilesh said that it was against the Constitution.

The National Register for Citizens (NRC) and National Population Register (NPR) have been highlighted to divert people's attention from unemployment, he alleged.
