Akhilesh: Shivpal’s return to family has left BJP frustrated
AGRA/LUCKNOW: Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Tuesday alleged that the return of his uncle Shivpal Yadav to the family fold had left the BJP frustrated and they were targeting the former in vengeance. Akhilesh termed his ‘chacha’ (Shivpal) a seasoned politician capable of giving a befitting reply to the saffron party.
The SP chief was addressing public meeting in Reda village of Karhal area of Mainpuri. His reaction came after CM Yogi Adityanath on Monday mocked at Shivpal for changing sides, likening him to a football and a pendulum, during his public address in Karhal area of bypoll-bound Mainpuri.
“The word pendulum is being used without him having any knowledge of physics. Does the CM know how to play football? The BJP only knows the game of hatred and division in society…they are ridden by vengeance,” alleged Yadav.
“Akhilesh has already given a befitting reply on the pendulum remark. Now tell me about football…if a player is competent, he scores goals. Watch out for the goal of Dimple, said Shivpal in his constituency Jaswant Nagar where he is campaigning for Dimple Yadav.
“The entire nation has its eyes on the Mainpuri bypoll as it is the first election after the demise of Mulayam Singh Yadav. Voters in Mainpuri will pay tribute to Netaji by ensuring a landslide victory of the SP candidate,” stated Akhilesh.
The SP chief counter-attacked the BJP over its frequent attacks on SP over dynasty politics, listing 18 pairs of BJP leaders and their relatives in politics.
“The BJP is aware about its defeat in Mainpuri n and is resorting to such tactics,” said Akhilesh.
