Lucknow: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee while campaigning for Samajwadi Party at Lucknow said that Bhartiya Janta Party is making false promises. Do not fall for it.
Addressing a joint press conference with Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav, she said, “I urge you all to support the Samajwadi Party and make them win, defeat the BJP. Don’t fall for false promises made by BJP: West Bengal CM & TMC leader Mamata Banerjee, in Lucknow.”
Mamata Banerjee also announced that on March 3, she will travel to Varanasi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s parliamentary seat.
Before leaving for Lucknow, Banerjee in Kolkata gave a call to defeat the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the coming elections. She said Yadav has invited her to campaign for SP.
Banerjee informed that the TMC will not contest the Uttar Pradesh elections but will field candidates in the state in the Lok Sabha elections in 2024.
Akhilesh Yadav welcomed her at the Amausi airport in Lucknow on Monday and shared this information on Twitter. “We defeated together in Bengal, now we will defeat in UP. This is a promise to Didi, we will emerge winners. Warm welcome and greetings to Didi in UP,” the SP chief tweeted sharing a picture with Banerjee.
Moth the leaders share a bonhomie on political as well as personal levels. This is not the first time Banerjee has come to Lucknow for the SP. Ahead of the 2017 UP assembly polls, she had come to support the SP when she held an anti-demonetization public meeting at the 1090 crossing in the city. Akhilesh Yadav was the UP chief minister then.
