He further said, “BJP has not done anything of its own in the last four-and-a-half years that they could have inaugurated; The work of Samajwadi Purvanchal Expressway was started during the rule of SP. Now I am getting to know that BJP is trying to copy SP by landing fighter jets on the expressway. We did this five years ago on the Agra-Lucknow Expressway and set an example. BJP is five years behind us.
The former chief minister also alleged that the Yogi Adityanath government has compromised the quality of the expressway. The company that built the Ram temple was about to do this project but BJP changed the company too. There are no facilities on the expressway yet, even toilets are not built. Please walk on this expressway at your own risk,” he quipped.
