Akhilesh Yadav targets UP govt over Ram Temple offerings row, law and order · thehansindia.com

Akhilesh Yadav is a big leader in India who heads a political party called the Samajwadi Party.

He is very unhappy with the government of Uttar Pradesh, a large state in India.

He talked about a famous temple called the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, where people give money as offerings.

He said some of those offerings were allegedly stolen or misused, and the government is not answering questions about it.

He complained that officials are now asking donors for receipts, which he says is not how Hindu donations usually work.

He also said farmers are standing in long queues because there is not enough fertiliser for their crops.

He told people that government hospitals are not taking good care of patients and that new roads are breaking too soon.

He spoke at a meeting in Lucknow after paying tribute to an old socialist leader named Janeshwar Mishra.

He promised that if his party wins elections, it will investigate unfair treatment of people and fix these problems.
