Taking a dig at the BJP over disappearance of streetlights on the newly-constructed Rampath and Bhaktipath in Ayodhya, Akhilesh Yadav passed a sarcastic remark saying the BJP government means darkness everywhere.
The Samajwadi Party president, in a comment on social media on Wednesday, wrote, “Thieves disrupted law and order in Ayodhya. That is why the public was already saying, the pillar is standing without electricity. BJP government means dark city, darkness everywhere. Ayodhya of today, don’t want BJP.”
A case has been registered on the theft of the modern lights installed on the Rampath and the Bhaktipath and the matter is currently under investigation.
