LUCKNOW: Deputy CM of Uttar Pradesh Keshav Prasad Maurya on Tuesday stepped up attack on Samajwadi Party accusing its president Akhilesh Yadav of giving his silent nod to his leader Swami Prasad Maurya's comment on Ramcharitmas.
Speaking to reporters in UP BJP office, Maurya squarely questioned Akhilesh's silence over Maurya's comment, insisting that the SP leadership was deliberately orchestrating the row to fulfill its agenda of Muslim appeasement. "This statement is not of Swami Prasad Maurya but of Akhilesh Yadav...he should clear his stand," he charged.
