Prayagraj : Deputy chief minister Keshav Prasad Maurya on Sunday stepped up his attack on the Samajwadi Party , claiming that the party would lose in the upcoming Legislative Council elections as well as the 2027 Uttar Pradesh assembly polls and would subsequently blame EVMs and the govt machinery for its defeat.
He claimed that the BJP would retain power not only after the 2027 assembly polls but would remain in govt till 2047 while working towards building a developed India and a developed Uttar Pradesh . Maurya reached Prayagraj Circuit House around 1.30pm and left shortly afterwards for a voter conference at a heritage resort in Andawa, Jhunsi, linked to the upcoming MLC election.
Reacting to SP chief Akhilesh Yadav ’s recent remark that the BJP ’s “pot of sins” was filling up, Maurya said the SP leader could continue making such statements, but the election results would give a clear answer. “If someone is doing politics over such an unfortunate incident, it is low-level conduct,” Maurya said, accusing the opposition of indulging in “dirty politics”. Asked about opposition allegations over posters in Lucknow depicting mafia-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed as Ravana, Maurya said the BJP had no need to put up posters of a mafia figure. He is no more,” he said.
“The BJP does not need to get a poster of someone like Atiq Ahmed installed.
