Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday urged people to vote for Samajwadi Party and defeat Bharatiya Janata Party in the upcoming Uttar Pradesh assembly polls. “I urge you all to support Samajwadi Party and make them win, defeat BJP. Don’t fall for false promises made by BJP,” said Banerjee while addressing a press conference in Lucknow with Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav. Launching an attack on the Yogi Adityanath led Uttar Pradesh government, Banerjee said, “History will never forgive those responsible for Hathras, Unnao incidents, and the bodies dumped in Ganga in UP during Covid-19.”
“CM Yogi Adityanath, where were you when these things were happening? Yogi Ji must apologize to the people of Uttar Pradesh,” she said. Banerjee is on a visit to Uttar Pradesh to “support Akhilesh Yadav for upcoming state Assembly elections”.
After the press conference, the TMC chief threw a football to the public, making an apparent reference to TMC’s famous “Khela Hobe” slogan in the 2021 West Bengal assembly polls.
