Ahead of the counting day, SP chief Akhilesh Yadav on Friday said due to the alertness of the INDIA bloc, voters, supporters, workers, officials, leaders, candidates, entire PDA community and some honest media persons, the BJP was on a backfoot in these bypolls.
Yadav warned that a new and troubling form of democracy was emerging in Uttar Pradesh under the BJP rule.
A day after polling concluded for nine assembly by-elections, Samajwadi Party (SP) President Akhilesh Yadav wrote a letter on Thursday thanking the people of Uttar Pradesh for maintaining their morale despite alleged administrative pressure during voting.
“Earlier, engines were colliding; now, even the coaches of the so-called ‘double-engine government’ are clashing. After the Maharashtra elections, their own people will undermine the foundations of those who raised hollow slogans,” he remarked.
He said that those who gave the slogan 'One Nation, One Election' are now unable to even conduct a single examination, despite promising to hold record examinations.
"If the government knew that a large number of people would gather at an event, then what did they do for their safety?" Yadav questioned.
Yadav claimed that if the job figures of Delhi and Varanasi University are taken out, people from the PDA family won’t be more than 15 per cent.
Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav, along with CPI (M) leader Brinda Karat, met Delhi Water Minister Atishi at the LNJP Hospital on Wednesday.
Taking a dig at BJP on social media site X on Friday, he said that this is the identity of 'BJP', work for liars and salute to liars.
Addressing party workers, leaders, MLAs and newly-elected MPs at the Samajwadi Party's state headquarters, the SP chief said the historic mandate the Lok Sabha elections have given to the party has infused new energy among the leaders and workers.
