Samajwadi Party's president, Akhilesh Yadav, launched a fierce critique against the BJP-led government in Uttar Pradesh, accusing it of dismantling the state's health services.

The SP leader recalled initiatives like the 108 emergency ambulance service established during his tenure, which he claimed the BJP has undermined.
