Taking a dig at Congress’s electoral alliance with Samajwadi Party (SP) in the poll-bound Uttar Pradesh, the BJP Monday said Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi needed Akhilesh’s cycle carrier to save his political career.
“This shows that Rahul Gandhi needs Akhilesh’s cycle carrier to save his political career, while junior Yadav (UP CM Akhilesh Yadav) knows that his misrule of five years will haunt him in these elections,” BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra told reporters here.
Congress and SP Sunday decided to struck a poll alliance , share seats and campaign together in the state elections. SP has allotted over 105 seats to the Congress while itself contesting 298 seats in 403 strong UP Assembly.
Patra also attacked the SP president and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav over alleged manhandling of two women in Tappal, Aligarh, a kilometre away from Yamuna Expressway.
“..The Chief Minister was busy in politicking and stitching an alliance at the time when this gory incident was taking place. This shows lawlessness in the state and the way Akhilesh is ruining Uttar Pradesh,” he said.
The BJP leader ridiculed that the Uttar Pradesh Government saying it had set a record of laying foundation stone and inaugurating the project on the same day. The seven-phase polls in UP will take place on February 11, 15, 19, 23, 27, March 4 and 8.
