Lucknow: Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday said that the flawed policies and complicated tax system under the BJP govt has brought about an economic and social emergency for traders.Speaking at a meeting of the party’s Vyapar Sabha, Akhilesh said, “This govt calls itself a double engine govt but all its ‘engines’ are busy in arranging ‘fuel’ instead of focusing on governance.““The govt claims that it has simplified taxes like GST but it has hardly helped businesses. On the contrary, it has created more hurdles for them,” he said.Citing media reports to claim that 35,000 MSMEs have shut down in the last year, he promised that SP would ensure safety and convenience for traders if it formed govt in 2027.“Business associates have also resolved to work with full responsibility, supporting the SP’s election campaign from their respective places,” he said. Akhilesh also paid tribute to Bhamashah and recalled his contributions to society and support to Maharana Pratap during the Battle of Haldighati.SP Vyapar Sabha state president Pradeep Jaiswal assured full support to the party from the trader community.
