Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav said there were more charges against Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and the deputy chief minister than there are Sections in the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
“There are some serious allegations against the chief minister…If someone files a petition, we will reconsider cases against them…,” Akhilesh Yadav said.
Akhilesh Yadav said if his party comes to power after winning this year’s Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls, it will double the number of police vehicles so that they could reach the crime spot as soon as possible.
Akhilesh Yadav also took a dig at Yogi Adityanath over the latter’s “garmi shaant karwa dengey” comment on the SP-RLD (Rashtriya Lok Dal) alliance. The SP chief said, “Jis din garmi khatam ho jayegi to hum log mar jayenge. Agar garm khoon nahi baha to hum zinda kaise rahenge? [If there is no heat, we will die. If hot blood does not flow, how will we remain alive?].”
He said that since the SP-RLD alliance has received people’s support, the BJP has become nervous.
Akhilesh Yadav was responding to Yogi Adityanath for his “garmi shaant karwa dengey” comment. Yogi Adityanath had earlier said, “They (Akhilesh Yadav) are once again coming up with a new envelope. Only the envelope is new, material is still same old, rotten of mafias, riots…After 10 March, inki puri garmi shaant karwa dengey.
Hitting out at the Bharatya Janata Party (BJP), Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav said that everyone in Uttar Pradesh wants to remove “negative thinkers”.
“This election is all about brotherhood vs the Bharatiya Janata Party…Everyone wants to remove the negative thinkers and this is happening all over Uttar Pradesh,” Akhilesh Yadav said.
“It is also an election of hope and fear because the Bharatiya Janata Party wants to contest elections by intimidation,” Akhilesh Yadav said.
Akhilesh Yadav also alleged BJP workers’ hand behind the illegal sale of alcohol.
Akhilesh Yadav’s comments came even as the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections are around the corner. Polls in Uttar Pradesh will be held from February 10 in seven phases. The counting of votes will take place on March 10.
