Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Friday alleged that there was corruption in the Uttar Pradesh government scheme that deals with destitute cows' care and nutrition. Yadav, a former chief minister of the state, accused the BJP government of failing to solve the problem of stray cattle.

In a post on X, the SP chief said, "UP's 'Mukhyamantri Sahyogita Yojana' for cows has actually become a corruption-shayogita scheme. In the so-called cow shelters, neither are the animals being given enough food, nor is there any arrangement for medicine and treatment, nor for disposal of their dead bodies."
