Akhilesh Yadav Swipes At BJP Over Bihar Politics โ€˜August Krantiโ€™

akhilesh yadav swipe at bjp as doodh ki makkhi on bihar political drama
Samajwadi Partyโ€™s Akhilesh Yadav said, โ€œLike Bihar, the people of Uttar Pradesh will also throw out the BJP like a โ€˜doodh ki makkhiโ€™.โ€

Mumbai: Samajwadi President Akhilesh Yadav reacted a day after JDU ended its tie with the BJP, on Wednesday saying that the socialists started an โ€œAugust Krantiโ€ on August 9 and taught a lesson to the BJP in Bihar now even the people of Uttar Pradesh will throw it away.

On the Centreโ€™s โ€˜Har Ghar Tirangaโ€™ campaign, Akhilesh Yadav said, โ€œFor the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP will forget the tricolour and will switch to Hindu-Muslim. The BJP has learned the policy of divide and rule from the British. People are well aware of these ideologies of the BJP.โ€ Referring to a colloquial Hindi phrase he said people will throw BJP away from Uttar Pradesh.

โ€œLike Bihar, the people of Uttar Pradesh will also throw out the BJP like a โ€˜doodh ki makkhiโ€™ โ€œ, he said.

To commemorate 75 years of Indiaโ€™s independence, the central government has launched the โ€œHar Ghar Tirangaโ€ campaign, in which individuals are urged to fly the tricolour at their residences.

โ€œThe parent organisation of the BJP, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh or RSS, never took part in the liberation fight and never raised the Indian flag at its headquarters in Nagpur. These days, it is merely politicising the tricolour. The BJP is incapable of even showing basic respect for the tricolour, โ€ he added.

The BJP has done all in its power since taking office to crush the hopes of those who fought and gave their lives for an independent India. It has been ignoring the underprivileged and concentrating primarily on funding the treasuries of its corporate allies said the Samajwadi leader Akhilesh Yadav.
