Akhilesh Yadav, the leader of the Samajwadi Party, took a jibe on the upcoming Global Investors Summit in Lucknow on Wednesday by calling it a “mere betrayal.”
He said “The UP government should tell how much was implemented on the ground from previous summits. Such summits are a mere betrayal. First, they send their ministers abroad, then they themselves visit other cities, what’s their industrial policy for investment. He also stressed on “India needs more smart cities, to cope with the problem of increasing population of cities. The Government has to provide equal facilities to rural people and generate employment opportunities so that they do not have to migrate to the cities”.
