New Delhi [India], February 10 (ANI): Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav has questioned the promises made by BJP leaders for Delhi and their potential impact on neighbouring Uttar Pradesh.
Speaking on the issue, Yadav said, "In elections, there is winning and losing, it's right that Arvind Kejriwal is not forming the Government in Delhi but BJP will have to face the problem in Uttar Pradesh. They will say that it was a state election, not a Delhi election. But the leaders who made the promises are also from UP and are national leaders. So, the promises they made for Delhi, will they implement them in UP or not?"
Yadav further discussed the aftermath of elections, focusing on the need for an honest review. Talking to ANI, he said "After every election, everyone reviews in their own way. If this review had taken place before the (Delhi) election, BJP would not have been in power today," the former chief minister of Uttar Pradesh said.
Meanwhile, after BJP's win in the Delhi assembly polls, Yadav on Sunday, stated that defeats are lessons, asserting that the INDIA bloc will gain more strength in the future.
Akhilesh Yadav had campaigned for Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) candidates in the Delhi assembly polls, but AAP suffered a massive setback, securing only 22 seats--a huge drop from its previous tally of 62 in 2020 polls, while the BJP won a historic mandate on Saturday, returning to power in the national capital after 27 years by winning 48 seats in the 70-member Delhi assembly.
He also alleged that the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) indulged in large-scale rigging in the Milkipur bypolls.
"But in the Milkipur by-elections, it wasn't an election but a loot. The people have seen it. PDA is seeing that. Those who are saying that they have taken revenge for losing the Ayodhya seat (in Lok Sabha), I want to tell them--you cannot take revenge from Ayodhya," he stated.
BJP also secured a resounding victory in the Milkipur Assembly bypolls, where its candidate Chandrabhanu Paswan won by a thumping margin of 61,710 votes against SP's Ajit Prasad. (ANI)
