In his statement, Yadav also claimed that owing to the wrong policies of the BJP, the country's economy has crumbled.

"The Prime Minister shows the dream of making the country a USD 5 trillion economy but no concrete step has been taken for it,” he said.

"The so-called 'upyogi' (useful) chief minister too had been beating drums earlier of making UP a USD 1 trillion economy. Now, he does not talk about it even indirectly. Statistics suggest that instead of moving ahead, UP is moving back," Yadav added.
