Our real enemy is China; Pakistan is political enemy,but BJP only targets Pakistan for its vote politics: Samajwadi Party president​

Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav has allied with smaller parties and hopes to win the upcoming Uttar Pradesh assembly elections.

He spoke to Kumar Anshuman and Vatsala Gaur on his electoral roadmap, promise to voters, the caste equations, India's stance with China and Pakistan and counters allegations against him and his party. Edited excerpts:

Will It be a bipolar election for the first time in UP?

Initially, we were wondering whether the SP would become an alternative or not. But circumstances changed after we got immense public support and blessings in the rath yatra.

It is the people who want change, we are with them. The work done (by us) in the last term is still visible and the (present) government has not been able to take it beyond that.

We are proud that the PM landed in a Hercules plane on a highway made by us. We built the Agra-Lucknow Expressway on the EPC model. After NHAI, no state government had the courage to carry out such a big project on EPC model.

The world-class expressway in terms of design, alignment and riding quality was built in record time. Now, the NHAI is following our model to build the Delhi Mumbai Expressway.

The Jewar Airport was visualised by the Mayawati government, and I had given the permission. This was not a BJP dream. Kushinagar Airport was built on the budget sanctioned during our government. They just inaugurated it. We built Lucknow, Agra, Kanpur metros. What has BJP built?
You have announced 22 lakh jobs for IT sector. But in Uttar Pradesh, aren't promising government jobs the way forward?

It is the first promise in a series of job-related promises (Naukri Rozgar Sankalp Shrinkhla). Right now, the announcement is only for the IT sector. Vacancies in the police, forest and other government departments are a separate category. In the IT sector, we have a proven track record - 5,500 people got direct employment in HCL. While I have said 22 lakh, looking at the UP market, it can easily be 30-40 lakh too.

Do you support reservation in the private sector?

Reservation should be implemented in the private sector also. It is getting land at subsidised rate. This land belongs to the government, which belongs to the people. But geographical reservation where jobs of a state is reserved for people of that state is wrong. The Centre should intervene on such matters. It reflects a narrow mindset. What if tomorrow you say people of Gujarat cannot fight elections from UP?

Earlier, you aligned with Congress and BSP. Now you are experimenting with smaller caste-based parties. What's the reason for that?

Our experience with bigger parties has not been smooth. Instead of benefiting us, it cost us. Which is why we are allying with smaller parties. About experiments... it took multiple experiments for the bulb to be invented (smiles).

How are you sure that smaller parties will make a difference?

You can find out for yourself that all the big leaders of BJP are calling our alliance partners from Delhi. We would like to congratulate our alliance partners that they are still with us, but they are being threatened. You can see FIRs registered against people as soon as they came to our party. I-T raids took place, and someone else's bounty was unearthed which was their own. Leaders like Swami Prasad Maurya, OP Rajbhar and Dara Singh have wide public support, they are adding votes to the alliance.
SP Maurya says this election is about backward-forward. Do you agree?

Until you don't talk about peoples' problems, why will they vote for you? People have been betrayed by this government. The 69,000 aspirants who came to Lucknow were hit with lathis. The government discriminated against Dalits and backwards when it came to recruitments. They say 'Sabka Sath Sabka Vikas', but how many vice chancellors are backwards? When it was the SP government, people said all DMs and officials were Yadavs, which was a lie. Today, the CM's caste has hijacked everything.

But the central and state governments have OBC and SC/ST ministers...

Those are kagazi pichhde (backwards only on paper). Why are they not going for a caste census then? The BJP belongs to no one. If the party can cheat in the land purchases in the name of Lord Ram, then it belongs to no one. Look at the corruption that happened in land purchases in Ayodhya. Government officials are purchasing lands in the development area. The District Magistrate is part of the temple trust, he is buying land. What can be a bigger corruption than this?

What are your views on EWS reservation?

There is a debate going on in the Supreme Court and High Courts. The EWS reservation doesn't align with the fundamental principle of the Constitution for which reservations were introduced. The Mandal Commission's core principles should not be messed with.

Do you support women's representation?

It should be party-based, we are ready to welcome it.

Women's security and empowerment have become election issues. What's your promise?

Wait for the manifesto. 'Beti, Behen, Maa' (daughter, sister and mother) will be at the core of our schemes. We will ensure safety; we demonstrated that during our government. 1090 helpline was an exemplary project. Even the Supreme Court appreciated it. Asha Jyoti Kendras were built to help them in case of emergency. There were pensions and other schemes for them.

You said you will give 300 units of free electricity but power utilities are already facing huge losses.

Who is responsible for it? In 2016, the Uday scheme came when liabilities of all discoms were taken up by the government. Our government was the first to take on the burden of ₹39,900 crore of interest liability of discoms, we cleaned their balance sheets. This was to be followed by capital expenditure which was not done by the BJP government. Which is why there is this a huge debt.

What's your views on Chinese investments in India?

Dr (Ram Manohar) Lohia and Netaji (Mulayam Singh Yadav) had a clear view on this. Our real enemy is China. Pakistan is our political enemy. But BJP only targets Pakistan because of their vote politics. In the Lok Sabha, only Samajwadi Party raised this question - when will we have members on 24 assembly seats in Azad Kashmir. The then home minister said that we will reach till Aksai Chin. Now we are hearing what's happening in Galwan. They are encroaching our land, encroaching our businesses. The Indian government should think about this and consult opposition parties on how to deal with the situation. On the investment front, we are forced to do business with China. It's a tricky situation where we are having to do business with our biggest enemy. We need to strengthen our own industries. Business ke sath sath fauj bhi chalti hai (Business and Army go hand in hand).

The seat-sharing agreement with your alliance partners is not yet out. Even Shivpal Yadav has demanded five-seven seats...

We have finalised everything. There are some minor issues, which remains in every alliance. With Shivpal Yadav Ji, whatever we had agreed upon is still there.

Muslims are supporting him , so just to keep muslim brothers in good humour .
 
.
US needs Russia to counter China, India needs Pakistan to counter China.
 
.
If India regards China as an enemy, then China will become an enemy of India.
We regard you enemy after you stabbed us in the back in 1962 , you are friends with none .
 
.
How China is relevant in a state election is beyond me. Stupid journalist and opportunistic politicians are the routine in India. No wonder people don't read news anymore.

This party has historically been known as one appealing Muslims. It is quite common in north Indian politics to make Pakistan an issue if muslims are not your vote bank and vice versa.

We regard you enemy after you stabbed us in the back in 1962 , you are friends with none .

We are friendly with Pakistan and Russia, Iran and North Korea. We have influence elsewhere and neutrality from most of the neutral parts of the world.

Meanwhile India has few real friends. India is the useful one for now of the west and friends of none in Asia. India only has influence over Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, and Nepal. None of those four are India's friends though.

As for 1962, it is India that started the argument by claiming all of Aksai Chin. If India didn't start the fight there wouldn't have been one. So you only call it China stabbing India in the back in 1962 because India failed to capture Aksai Chin. That war happened because India insisted on it and refused to back down to normal pre war condition between the newly formed India and newly formed PRC.

Far more countries want to do business and trade with China than India. Far more prefer association and agreements with China or involving China into pacts. India beyond the now dead Quad alliance is mostly a military one and even that one is reformed to take India out and turned into AUKUS.

If India regards China as an enemy, then China will become an enemy of India.

More hot air and idiotic proclamations from Indian politicians.

This is the real scenario, as published two hours ago by MSN India - Indian imports of roughly 125 Billion from China.

What conflict? India’s imports from China soar to almost $100 bn, led by smartphones, machinery​

New Delhi: Imports to India from China reached nearly $100 billion for the first time in calendar year 2021, as the import of electrical and electronic goods, particularly smartphones, as well as machinery, fertilizers and specialty chemicals, including active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), witnessed a massive surge.

According to the latest figures published by China’s General Administration of Customs of the People’s Republic of China (GACC), exports to India reached $97.52 billion in 2021, while total two-way bilateral trade touched $125.66 billion.

According to the GACC, the biggest jump has been witnessed in the shipment of electric and electronic goods, including smartphones and storage units; a wide range of industrial goods, including telecom equipment, auto components, and machine tools; and specialty chemicals, including APIs and fertilisers such as urea, ammonia sulphate and other varieties.

India imports more petroleum products from China

In terms of key import items from China in the first eight months of the calendar year 2021, the import of petroleum (crude) and petroleum products, pearls, precious and semi-precious stones, and also that of coal, coke, and briquettes also jumped significantly, according to Foreign Trade Performance Analysis (FTPA) by India’s Ministry of Commerce and Industry.

These items together accounted for about $60 billion of the total imports from China during this period. Commodity-wise data for December is yet to be released by India.

“India’s overall relationship with China seems to mirror the US-China relationship, in which economic and political relations have their own distinct dynamics,” Biswajit Dhar, trade economist and professor, Centre for Economic Studies and Planning, School of Social Sciences, JNU, told ThePrint.

“Despite its worsening political relations with China, the US has not been able to decrease its reliance on the ‘factory of the world’. India, too, has been unable to decouple from the Chinese economy, despite the government of India’s efforts. India’s China-dependence syndrome could increase further when our manufacturing industries recover fully to the pre-pandemic levels,” Dhar said.

A report in the Chinese state-run Global Times also said: “An increase in China-India trade in 2021, which reached a record high, surpassing $125 billion, amid bilateral tensions, is just another piece of proof that New Delhi is unable to reduce its dependence on the Chinese market.”

Veteran economist Ajit Ranade said weaning away India’s dependence on the import of APIs from China would also take a long time.

Ajai Sahai, director and CEO, Federation of Indian Export Organizations (FIEO), added that “one of the main reasons why imports from China are touching record levels is because of the huge demand for electronic goods and machinery by the domestic industry as well as APIs”.

Meanwhile, according to the provisional data released by the Directorate General of Commercial Intelligence and Statistics under the Department of Commerce (Ministry of Commerce and Industry), India’s imports from China reached $87.5 billion, while total bilateral trade stood at $114.30 billion in 2021.

According to Dhar, the mismatch in the Indian and Chinese data could be due to certain issues related to leakages in reporting and non-reporting of data, due to under-invoicing done by exporters.

Indian exports to China growing steadily

India’s exports to China in 2021 also reached record levels, according to the FIEO.

According to DGCIS data, Indian exports to China jumped to $24 billion in 2021, compared to $19 billion in 2020 and $17.1 billion in 2019.

“India’s exports to China are also growing steadily. In 2021, we got some market access in China’s agricultural market. We are now exporting more non-basmati rice, exotic vegetables, soybeans and fruits,” added Sahai.

According to Ranade, this is the reason why the trade deficit has been kept under check. The ballooning of India-China trade deficit has always been a contentious issue between both countries.

“The trade deficit was narrowing for three years till 2019, but has been rising again. Having said that, let’s not forget that in the coming years, despite the pandemic, US and China will grow by 5 per cent. And China alone is a $6 trillion consumer market,” Ranade said.

“More than fifty countries have significant exports to China. If our exporters can tap into that market, it will be a great driver of our growth,” he added.

India’s trade deficit with China in 2021, according to the provisional DGCIS figures, stood at $61 billion compared to $39 billion in 2020.

We regard you enemy after you stabbed us in the back in 1962 , you are friends with none .

and you indians continue your time honored traditions of starting a fight then getting pimp slapped then running away to claim the other side started it first. just like 2020 and 1962.

in 1962, you literally invaded china by going beyond the disputed areas.
go google Dhola Post.

then your government tried to say the McMahon line(illegal in itself) "accidentally" didn't cover the land that the post was on. you government is basing its claims on an illegal line, then saying that the illegal line "meant" to cover the area you invaded as well, even though it didn't when it was drawn.

then later ya'll cry about china backstabbing you, when you clearly started everything through your forward policy.
