Hitting out at the Bharatiya Janata Party, Samajwadi Party national president Mulayam Singh Yadav said that BJP leaders have ditched countrymen as they have not fulfilled promises they made to the people during election.
“The BJP is interested only in triggering communal violence in the country and doing nothing for the general people. The leaders talked about price rise and corruption but when the BJP came to power it did nothing to help the people. The Central Government has failed to control price rise in the country,” Yadav said while addressing an election meeting in Mainpuri.
The SP president said in contrast to this, Akhilesh Yadav Government has fulfilled all the promises made during the 2012 Assembly election. “We do what we say and do not fool the people like the BJP leaders,” he said. This was the first election rally of Yadav in Mainpuri. “Since the BJP has come to power at the Centre, communal tension in the State has gone up. This is because the BJP wants to thrive on dividing people on communal lines. They use relion to gain votes in elections. They did it during the lok sabha elections and want to do the same in by-election,” Yadav said.
“The Samajwadi Party is the true saviour of Muslims. It had controlled riots in record time in western UP. People know had the Government not acted in time, situation in Muzaffarnagar would have been very bad,” said Yadav.
