Prateek Yadav, the younger son of late Samajwadi Party founder Mulayam Singh Yadav and half-brother of Akhilesh Yadav, has died suddenly in Lucknow at the age of 38. According to the postmortem report, Prateek Yadav died due to cardiorespiratory collapse caused by massive pulmonary thromboembolism. His body was taken to KGMU for autopsy under tight security and videography surveillance. Akhilesh Yadav, while mourning his half-brother’s death, hinted that business-related stress may have affected him in recent months. 

Samajwadi Party (SP) Chief Akhilesh Yadav criticized the BJP over unfulfilled promises in the state budget. He pointed out that the BJP had pledged in their manifesto to provide free electricity to farmers for irrigation and to allocate Rs 25,000 crore for the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel agro-infrastructure mission. Additionally, they had promised Rs 1,000 crore for the Bhamashah Scheme, which was supposed to guarantee Minimum Support Price (MSP) for crops like tomatoes, potatoes, and other vegetables. Yadav highlighted that these promises, made over nine state budgets, remain unfulfilled. Watch video
