Jaitley attacks SP, BSP; says tough decisions were must to bring investors

Lucknow: Taking potshots at the previous Samajwadi Party (SP) and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) governments, Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Thursday said that some tough decisions were must to bring investors to the state.

“Be it the Akhilesh Yadav government or Mayawati’s, both failed to bring investors to the state. It has been unfortunate that the previous governments have only been busy dividing people on the lines of caste and creed. Now, the Yogi government is moving in the right direction,” said Arun Jaitley addressing in closing ceremony of UP Investors Summit 2018.

“Yogi government has proved that law and order can be good in UP also,” he added.
