Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Monday (April 13, 2026) blamed the BJP government’s “one-sided policies” for the violent protests by workers in Noida, alleging the regime favours capitalists while neglecting salaried employees and labourers.
Reacting to the violence through a post on X, Mr. Yadav said the agitation over wage hike had turned aggressive due to policies that “nurture capitalists but exploit workers”.
