Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath held the Bharatiya Janata Party Legislative Party meeting ahead of the state assembly monsoon session which commenced on Monday.
Deputy Chief Ministers Keshav Prasad Maurya and Brajesh Pathak were also present in the meeting.
“This is the Bharatiya Janata Party Vidhan Mandal meeting before the session,” Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya said while speaking to reporters ahead of the meeting.
In an attack on the Samajwadi Party, Maurya said, “Akhilesh Yadav’s truth has come out before people. PDA (Pichhda, Dalit, Alpsankhyak) is a big betrayal.”
On Mata Prasad Pandey being elected as the leader of opposition in the UP assembly, Maurya said, “We respect Mata Prasad Pandey personally. We congratulate him for being appointed the leader of the opposition.”
Continuing his attack on Akhilesh Yadav, the deputy chief minister said, “Akhilesh Yadav has been exposed. He had taken votes by misleading people in the name of PDA; the people coming from that section have great expectations but Akhilesh Yadav has stabbed their hopes.”
BJP leader JPS Rathore said that anyone from the Bharatiya Janata Party could voice their opinions and dream to be the chief minister, in contrast to the Samajwadi Party or the Congress.
