The Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, which reached Amethi on Monday, will be in Rae Bareli tomorrow.
When asked him if the SP was trying to deal with Congress while the national party was more interested in going with the BSP, a visibly annoyed Akhilesh Yadav told the scribes, “Go and ask them! Why question me?”
Commenting on the Ground Breaking Ceremony (GBC) of the Yogi government in UP to be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi with Rs 10 lakh crore investments will, the SP president called it a political gimmick before the Lok Sabha polls. “They did nothing during their entire tenure and now trying to confuse the voters,” he alleged.
“The BJP Government of UP, which did nothing for the people of the state, the youth, is now showing dreams to the public of employment through these investments. Similarly, they organised police recruitment exams attended by 50 lakh youths. It is a mere eye wash as the exams were already rigged,” he said.
