'BJP should understand...': While PM Modi visits China, Akhilesh Yadav says 'India’s dependence on Chinese goods increasing'

Akhilesh Yadav

Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday seemingly criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi's China visit and said that India's dependence on Chinese goods is increasing.

Taking to X, Akhilesh said, "This is the worrying truth of the so-called self-reliance, swadeshi, and boycott of Chinese goods by BJP’s slogans!"

In his X post, he said that ”the way India’s dependence on goods imported from China is increasing, it has had a bad effect on the continuously decreasing business of our industries, factories and shops. Due to this, unemployment is also increasing wildly.”

Further, he said that the BJP should understand the chronology of Chinese tactics. "First, China will flood the Indian markets with its goods. This will increase the dependence on China so much that BJP people will be forced to ignore their every wrong action. After that, China will slowly take our products and industries to the brink of closure," his X post read.

He also said that China will supply everything at arbitrary prices. Inflation and unemployment will thereby increase. "When inflation and unemployment increase, the anger against the government will also increase manifold. The BJP government, which is running on the support of others, without a majority, will become even weaker and falter," his X post further read.

Meanwhile, he also took a dig at the Uttar Pradesh government and said, "If the ‘drone people’ are not able to understand this, then the ‘bulldozer’ people sitting in UP should understand this truth and answer how much of our land has been usurped by China, because their original place of residence has also fallen prey to Chinese occupation."

He also said that the BJP would not be able to challenge the encroachment by China and that the Chinese will further increase occupation in India.
