Akhilesh lashed out at BJP
After coming out of jail, Akhilesh Yadav, while talking to the media, fiercely attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party. While talking about Azam Khan, Akhilesh Yadav said that everyone knows how life is spent in jail, jail is jail. Talking on BJP, Akhilesh Yadav said that BJP claims to be the largest party in the world but it seems that BJP is making a world record of false cases in the universe in getting cases filed, the reason behind this is that the electoral bond played the band of BJP. Just see what is happening in Delhi? Will the country accept that people are sent to jail by filing false cases? Injustice has no age but truth will prevail.
Akhilesh said that sending the elected Chief Minister to jail will not lead to victory of democracy, the government is trying to suppress the voice of those who want to raise their voice in democracy. He said that Bharatiya Janata Party does not have the answer. Uttar Pradesh has the highest number of papers. Have been leaked. The public will teach a lesson to the Bharatiya Janata Party.
On the statement given by Pallavi Patel, Akhilesh Yadav said that the story of those leaving is very long, no one knows better than the media, why someone is leaving. BJP does not have the answer as to from whom and why they have received donations? The electoral bond has played the band of Bharatiya Janata Party, that is why arrests are being made.
