Akhilesh Yadav was asked if he’s been invited for the Yatra, which is currently on a break and resumes with entering Uttar Pradesh from Delhi on January 3.
Lucknow: Former Uttar Pradesh chief minister and Samajwadi Party supremo Akhilesh Yadav today distanced himself from Rahul Gandhi-led 3,550 Km ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’, diminishing the Congress march’s chances of acting as a possible catalyst for Opposition unity.
“Our party has a different ideology. The BJP and Congress are the same,” the Samajwadi Party(SP) chief said while responding to reporters’ questions.
Akhilesh Yadav was asked if he’s been invited for the Yatra, which is currently on a break and resumes with entering Uttar Pradesh from Delhi on January 3.
“If you have an invitation on your phone, please, send it to me,” he told reporters. “Our sentiments are with their yatra,” he added, “I have received no invitation.”
However, SP MLA from Maharashtra Abu Azmi had joined the Mumbai extension of the Yatra led by Mumbai Congress president Bhai Jagtab and senior leader Digvijaya Singh earlier on Gandhi Jayanti.
