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.
Yadav has been invited to share stage with Rahul Gandhi during a public rally at National Inter College in Chandauli's Saiyadraja on February 16.
Congress said the Yatra will enter UP on February 16 and a detailed route and program is being made.
Posting from his official handle on X, the former chief minister said the BJP has still not put out its list of Lok Sabha candidates from the state as their sitting MPs did little except 'fill their pockets'.
NCP Chief Sharad Pawar said that people of Bihar will teach Nitish Kumar a lesson.
