Mainpuri: Samajwadi Party Lok Sabha MP Dimple Yadav on Monday took swipe at BJP's slogan, saying those who would talk about 'Sabka Sath Sabha Vikas', now giving 'divisive slogans'.  

Dimple Yadav was in Karhal to campaign for Samajwadi Party's candidate Tej Pratap Singh Yadav. 

Talking to reporters, she said: "Earlier, the BJP used to give the slogan of 'Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas', but now they coined a divisive slogan (referening to BJP's batenge toh katenge' remark). This shows their intentions and mindset."
