Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], June 8 (ANI): Samajwadi Party MP Ruchi Vira took a veiled dig at the BJP, saying that the Moradabad city continues to face many issues including the dilapidated condition of roads despite being declared a Smart City 10 years ago.
Ruchi Vira who won the Moradabad Lok Sabha seat told ANI on Saturday, "I would like to thank (Samajwadi Party Chief) Akhilesh Yadav, the INDIA alliance and the people of Moradabad...I have always worked for the welfare and upliftment of women".
On what issues she will be raising as an MP inside the Parliament, Vira said, "Despite Moradabad being declared a smart city by the BJP ten years ago, there are still many issues. The entire city is in a mess, roads are in dilapidated condition, railway crossings have not been properly made as half of the population is living across the line, there is no flyover, there are frequent traffic jams and medical facilities, we will raise them".
On SP's PDA (Pichhde, Dalit, and Alpasankhyak) slogan in the Lok Sabha elections and its impact, Vira said, " You have seen its results. (The people of) Uttar Pradesh delivered 37 seats to the SP".
In Uttar Pradesh, Akhilesh Yadav's Samajwadi Party has thrown up a big surprise as it won 37 seats, becoming a single party in the state that sends the highest number of MPs to the Lok Sabha.
The construction of the Ram temple was one of the key planks of the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) campaign across the country. Ironically, the poll pitch didn't work in Ayodhya itself. The Faizabad Lok Sabha constituency, in which the temple city falls, rejected its two-time MP Lallu Singh in the Lok Sabha polls.
The counting of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections was held on Tuesday. According to the Election Commission of India, the Samajwadi Party (SP) won 37 seats, the BJP won 33, the Congress won 6, Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) won 2, and Aazad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram) and Apna Dal (Soneylal) won 1 seat each in the Lok Sabha elections in Uttar Pradesh.
