Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Saturday said that the cancellation of the UP Police Recruitment Examination is a victory for the youth and a setback for the malpractices under the BJP government.

“BJP people were earlier saying that the papers were not leaked. How are they accepting it now. This means that officers and criminals were in collusion and the government was also keeping its hand on their heads from behind. The government has been forced to bow down to avoid a historic defeat in the elections,” he said.

He said that now everyone has started understanding the truth of the game that the BJP government is playing with unemployed young men and women in the name of jobs.

“Removing jobs for the show, taking fees worth billions of rupees, allowing papers to be leaked and then pretending to cancel them. This game will prove very costly for the BJP this time. The youth have now decided that they will neither be misled nor fall into any BJP trap. The youth will defeat BJP badly in the next election and remove it forever,” the SP president said.

Yadav claimed that the youth are saying that the money taken in the name of fees should not go to the BJP’s election fund. Therefore, candidates’ application fees should be refunded immediately. He urged the BJP government to reimburse the fees now, and upon rescheduling the examination, collect it again through online digital payment.
