Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav on Saturday said that Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections will not throw a surprise result, hinting towards his party’s victory, but claimed the “real surprise” will be in Gujarat assembly polls due later this year. He also claimed the people of Uttar Pradesh have already given their verdict and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is “nervous”.

While addressing a press conference along with Rashtriya Lok Dal chief Jayant Chaudhary, the SP chief said, “A wrestler who loses sometimes bites or pulls. These people (BJP) have already lost.” The SP-RLD alliance has taken an ‘anna sankalp’ of defeating the ruling saffron party.
During the conference Yadav said, “The people of Uttar Pradesh have given their verdict. No surprise is going to come here. Farmers, young traders, people of all sections have made up their mind that the government is going to be formed by those in the Samajwadi Party alliance.”
“The real surprise will come from Gujarat where elections are to be held after Uttar Pradesh,” Yadav claimed. When asked about the government repealing the three farm laws, Yadav said that the BJP “humiliated” the farmers.
“How can the farmers forget that the BJP has insulted the annadata (food providers) of the country?” he posed.
