Akhilesh warns of profiteering and farm land loss in BJP’s agreements

Targeting the inflation surge, Yadav highlighted that while Chinese commodity prices are soaring, the government is mixing ethanol into petrol, a move he described as a calculated strategy to favour a select few and extract donations. He said the steep rise in petrol‑diesel and daily essentials has emptied markets and dulled festival celebrations. The former chief minister also raised questions about memoranda of understanding the state government signed with large corporations, warning that such deals could eventually strip farmers of their lands.
