SP president Akhilesh Yadav
Kejriwal tweeted a message to the UP CM, once again pitting him against PM Narendra Modi and home minister Amit Shah , alleging that Modi and Shah were out to finish Yogi Adityanath and congratulating Akhilesh in advance for a possible victory in the UP Assembly polls.
Lucknow: Opposition leaders, led by SP chief Akhilesh Yadav and Aam Aadmi Party supremo Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday trained their guns on Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath over his recent statement, in which he said that the names of 1.27 crore Hindu voters were missing from the electoral rolls and the Special Intensive Revision (SIR). Congratulations in advance to Akhilesh ji,” Kejriwal said in his tweet in apparent reference to CM yogi’s recent claims that names of 1.27 crore Hindu voters have been dropped from the electoral rolls in UP. Even though AAP did not contest the 2024 elections in UP, the party gave full support to the INDIA bloc, with Kejriwal having addressed a joint press conference with Yadav and ensuring that its cadre campaigned especially for SP candidates.
“Maharaj ji, you also know that the Election Commission does whatever those two (Modi and Shah) tell it to. These two are out to finish you off. Kejriwal’s tweet addressing Akhilesh is equally important, keeping in mind the political equations between AAP and SP.
I warned you earlier as well.
Akhilesh wrote: “People realise others’ agony when they themselves pass through it,” adding that if the UP CM was convinced that 1.27 crore Hindu votes were missing from the electoral rolls, he should retweet his post. He said the UP CM questioning of the SIR has brought the BJP leader and the opposition on the same page, as the opposition leaders, including Akhilesh himself, have been staging protests against such anomalies. AAP Rajya Sabha member Sanjay Singh said that Yogi’s statement makes it clear that the BJP cadre itself is not with the CM, otherwise, why would it not ensure that all its supporters were registered in the voters list. AAP had pointed out much earlier that there was a massive discrepancy between the Panchayat list and assembly list but then nobody listened to us,” he said.
“Arvind ji’s statement highlights that this is a fight between the arrogance of Delhi leaders and the arrogance of the UP leader. Modi, Shah and Gyanesh Kumar are the ones responsible for the voter list mess and this means that they are out to make Yogi Adityanath lose as well.
