Yadav also highlighted the agrarian issue prevailing in the country and said the farmers' condition is getting worse.
Slamming the government over false promises of providing electricity round the clock, he said, "Big claims are being made about electricity supply, but in the hometown of Power Minister itself electricity is available for 18 to 20 hours only."
Shivpal further said that the government talks about corruption-free governance, but there is not even a single transfer in the state which was done without exchange of money.
Yadav further hit out at the government over the recent Gorakhpur tragedy and said the incident was unfortunate.

"The Gorakhpur incident is the outcome of the BJP government's corruption," he said.
Shivpal Yadav's comments have come almost a week after former vice-president Hamid Ansari expressed similar sentiment about the state of the minority groups in India, especially Muslims.
Ansari's assertion had invited the wrath of the BJP with the newly-elected Vice-President M. Venkaiah Naidu also targetting his predecessor. (ANI)
