BSP's Akash Anand slams BJP, calls Rahul, Akhilesh 'uncle'
A man named Akash Anand works for a political party in India called the BSP.
He gave a big speech to party workers in a place called Sadabad.
In the speech, he blamed the Uttar Pradesh state government for problems.
He said there are not enough jobs for young people.
He said schools have closed and exams have had issues.
He also said the government spent a lot of money on advertisements instead of helping people.
Akash Anand called two leaders of other parties 'uncle.'
He explained he is 30 years old and they are older, so calling them uncle is his way of being respectful.
He wants young people to help change the government in the next election.
He believes changing the government can help fix these problems.
BSP national coordinator Akash Anand attacked the Uttar Pradesh BJP government on jobs, education and law and order at a workers' conference in Sadabad.
Anand called Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav 'uncle' as part of a youth outreach ahead of the Assembly elections.
He alleged that more than Rs 7,000 crore was spent on advertisements over the past decade to hide the government's shortcomings.
Anand claimed over four lakh government posts were vacant, more than 25,000 schools had closed, and competitive exams had suffered paper leaks.
He questioned the Lucknow-Kanpur Expressway, saying it sank at several places within a month of inauguration, while praising the Yamuna Expressway built under Mayawati.
Anand said students' protests and speeches alone would not change the government, arguing that the government and the people in power must be changed.
