Debate Over Operationalization of Jayaprakash Narayan International Centre in Lucknow
The Lok Nayak Jayaprakash Narayan International Centre (JPNIC) in Lucknow is set to become operational, a move supported by the Yogi government as a national duty beyond politics. The BJP criticizes the Samajwadi Party for the project's cost escalation from ₹200 crore to ₹850 crore and its incomplete status, questioning the SP's management and intentions. The BJP urges SP leader Akhilesh Yadav to clarify these issues publicly, emphasizing that JPNIC should honor Jayaprakash Narayan's legacy without political appropriation.
