Addressing the public meeting, Vishambhar Prasad Nishad expressed deep sorrow and anger over the current situation in Kanpur. Raising local problems, he said, “Kanpur was once called the Manchester of North India, but today due to the misgovernance and administrative neglect of the present government, Kanpur has fallen into a complete state of disrepair. The city's roads have turned into potholes, the sewer system is in ruins and the basic facilities are dying. Today, every society and every individual of Kanpur is suffering from this plight. The government is only making claims of false development, while on the ground, the people of Kanpur are suffering. Forced to live a hellish life.”
Highlighting the suffering of traders and every section of the society, he further said, “The backbone of Kanpur is trade, but today the business class here is completely troubled and dejected. Wrong economic policies, increasing tax burden and administrative harassment have broken the back of small and medium traders. Along with this, the entire PDA (backward, Dalit, minority) society is feeling cheated in this system. The youth do not have employment. Inflation is skyrocketing and the poor and exploited class are in no mood to tolerate this oppression any longer.
Sounding the alarm of the upcoming political fight, the former MP said, “The upcoming 2027 assembly elections will become the biggest medium to end this plight of Kanpur and entire Uttar Pradesh. Only the unity of 'PDA' under the leadership of Honorable Akhilesh Yadav ji will end the misgovernance of this anti-people government. All the backward, Dalit and deprived castes including the Nishad community have now woken up and are uniting for their rights and respect. In 2027, the public will She will respond to the plight with the blow of her vote and restore the public-welfare socialist government in the state.”
Referring to the historical decisions of the Samajwadi Party, he said in a very aggressive manner, “The historic and unprecedented work done by 'Netaji' (Mulayam Singh Yadav) and development man Akhilesh Yadav for the self-respect and respect of the Nishad community is recorded in history. The Samajwadi Party is the only power that has always given a real stake in power and organization to our society. If anyone understood the pain of the brave lady Phoolan Devi ji, who was a victim of brutal oppression and injustice, then it was Netaji who helped her. He was taken out of the jail bars and taken to the country's biggest Panchayat (Parliament) and gave a new identity and political power to the entire society.
