Akhilesh Yadav slams Yogi Govt for alleged voter suppression in UP bye-elections
Yadav warned that a new and troubling form of democracy was emerging in Uttar Pradesh under the BJP rule.
The Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra reached the city of Taj Mahal, Agra, where Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav joined it.
The yatra, spearheaded by the Congress leader and sister Priyanka, literally turned into an SP an affair in the city of love with the presence of Akhilesh Yadav.
The brother-sister duo enthusiastically welcomed Akhilesh reminiscent of the 2017 UP assembly polls when similar scenes were witnessed when both parties had a pre-poll alliance.

Extending a warm welcome to Akhilesh for the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said, “Today is a very happy day when we all are united to fight for our country, for our democracy and to save our Constitution,” she said.
On this occasion, Akhilesh Yadav poetically aimed the BJP. He said “Agra is a city of love. The message of love should go from here to the entire country.”
Akhilesh gave a slogan to remove BJP “Save the Constitution, Save the country.
He called the BJP paper-leak party whose leaders work to spread hatred in the country.
“The youth do not have employment. They are forced to burn their degrees. They bring black laws for the farmers. Now, BJP’s departure is certain and the INDIA coalition government will be formed,” the SP predicted.
Akhilesh Yadav was scheduled to join the yatra in Rae Bareli on February 20, but he gave it a miss owing to the delay in the agreement over the pre-poll alliance in the state with the Congress.
The Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, which reached Agra via Aligarh, will now enter Rajasthan.
