“On the contrary, we should thank the BJP for not forcing us to go to concealed locations instead used by their ‘underground associates and affiliates’ for their secret meetings,” Akhilesh said in an apparent reference to BJP’s fountainhead RSS staying ‘underground’ and not participating in the Quit India Movement.

He said people of the country in general and the youth in particular have now realised that they were heading towards a situation where people will eventually be denied their right to vote. “Samajwadi Party has documented and filed numerous written complaints with evidence to prove how the Election Commission has manipulated electoral rolls in the name of Special Intensive Revision (SIR),” Akhilesh said.
“The BJP is terrified. To stay away from the growing public resentment, they want to keep the common man away from places where people in govt sit. It would have been better if, for the sake of people’s welfare, the protestors were assigned a place on Lok Kalyan Marg (road leading to PM residence in New Delhi). This will give an opportunity to justify the renaming of the road.

Indian Constitution will be saved only if the BJP is removed,” Akhilesh said. “Democracy will be saved only when the BJP is ousted from the govt.
