Former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and Samajwadi Party (SP) national president Akhilesh Yadav on August 28 accused the BJP government of destroying the country and claimed that many political parties in the State were fighting elections only to “cut” opposition votes. Mr. Yadav’s comments hold significance as a few days back, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati targeted the SP chief for his visit to Azamgarh.
“The BJP government is destroying the country. People are ready to remove the saffron party from power. The BJP will go out of power after these elections,” Mr. Yadav said.
