Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav meets Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Rakesh Tikait on Wednesday
Lucknow: Targeting the BJP over CM Yogi Aditynath’s claim that they will sweep 2027 polls with 80:20 ratio, SP chief Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday said the CM was apparently unaware that it would be a 95:5 instead. Akhilesh said closure of 26,000 schools and failed investments reflect govt’s failures at the education and economic front. People have seen through BJP’s hollow claims and are ready to vote it out in 2027 polls, SP chief said. Yogi had, in a recent interview, said the Assembly polls would be an ‘80:20’ contest, where 80% of voters supporting nationalism, cultural nationalism, good governance, security and prosperity will back the BJP led NDA, while the remaining 20% would support those opposed to these issues.
“The medical health sector is in a very bad shape while condition of govt hospitals can be gauged from the fact that the parents of the AIIMS Gorakhpur director preferred treatment at a private hospital there,” Akhilesh said. Akhilesh Yadav said he will visit Ayodhya and Vrindavan, and gave a new meaning to the party’s PDA slogan as “Pehle Darshan, Phir Ashirwad” (First Darshan, Then Blessings). Asked about his plans to visit the Ram Temple, the SP chief said he would also visit the Kedareshwar temple in Etawah and Vrindavan. “Not just Ayodhya, we will also visit Kedareshwar and Vrindavan,” he said, without specifying any date.
