Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak launched an attack on Samajwadi Party (SP) President Akhilesh Yadav over his statement and called the Samajwadi Party and Yadav “frustrated” because of the BJP’s success in the state.
“The opposition has not been able to level any factual allegations against the BJP government in the state. We have successfully fulfilled the expectations of the 25 crore people of Uttar Pradesh. The opposition Samajwadi Party and its chief, Akhilesh Yadav, are frustrated because of this,” said Pathak while speaking to ANI. “It’s been over five years, and it’s after 37 years that the same government (BJP) has come to power in the state for the second consecutive time,” he pointed out.
“BJP candidates will win all three seats in the upcoming by-elections with a full majority,” he added.
SP Chief Akhilesh Yadav on Thursday took a jibe at the UP’s deputy chief ministers, Keshav Prasad Maurya and Brajesh Pathak, and said that the two were looking for an opportunity to become CM, but have “failed.” “There are 2 Deputy CMs in the state. Both of them are looking for an opportunity to become CM,” Yadav had said while addressing a public rally in Rampur ahead of by-polls in support SP candidate on Thursday. Yadav further “offered” to both Deputy CMs and said, “We have come to give them an offer. Take 100 MLAs from us, we are with you, become CM whenever you want.”
Yadav also said that the BJP government of the state should not be so harsh on the opposition party that it would become “vindictive” when it returns to power.
“Those who are committing injustice, I want to tell them that the CM’s (Yogi Adityanath) file had come to me (during my tenure)”.
