The Story in Brief
On National Handloom Day, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath accused previous governments of dynasty politics and neglecting development, Hindustan Times reports. Without naming Akhilesh Yadav, he referred to him as 'Babua' and alleged he had no time for the state. Adityanath claimed that before 2017, UP suffered from poor law and order, electricity shortages, and bad roads, with markets deserted due to riots.
He highlighted the handloom sector: 2.5 lakh families depend on it, 40,000 artisans received Rs 109 crore in electricity benefits, and over 70% of workers are women. The CM also noted that the PM MITRA Textile Park in Lucknow will strengthen the sector.
The Indian Opinion
Yogi Adityanath's 'Babua' jibe is a familiar political attack, but his specific allegations of poor law and order and infrastructure before 2017 deserve scrutiny. The one-sided narrative that development began only after 2017 ignores the Samajwadi Party's own schemes. The real test for both sides will be independently verified data on crime rates and electricity supply over the past decade. Can the handloom sector's growth be sustained without government benefits?
