BJP national secretary Shrikant Sharma says the fast-paced developments within the Mulayam Singh Yadav-led party have exposed Akhilesh
Lucknow/New Delhi : As fissures in Samajwadi Party deepened, BJP demanded that Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav prove his majority in the Assembly or resign, labelling the party as “a sinking ship” which has failed on every front, reports PTI.
“CM Akhilesh Yadav should resign or prove his majority on the floor of the Assembly,” UP BJP chief Keshav Prasad Maurya told reporters in Lucknow hours after Akhilesh sacked four pro-Amar Singh ministers, including his uncle Shivpal Yadav, from his government. Seeking to fish in troubled waters, Maurya said Governor Ram Naik should ask Akhilesh to prove his majority on the floor of the Assembly and till he did so, he should not take any policy decision. “A government reduced to minority should not take any policy decision,” he said. In New Delhi, BJP national secretary Shrikant Sharma said the fast-paced developments within the Mulayam Singh Yadav-led party has “exposed” Akhilesh as he exuded confidence that the people of the poll-bound state will now evince faith in the NDA major as “change is inevitable” there.
“The ongoing theatrics within SP is an exercise of shrouding their sins. The party has become a sinking ship which has failed on every front. Mafia raj prevailed during Akhilesh’s tenure. He could not keep promises of providing roads, electricity, drinking water. Even healthcare is in doldrums,” Sharma said.
He said that the people elected Akhilesh with a “lot of hopes” after witnessing “rampant” corruption and lawlessness during the previous BSP regime. “But now he stands exposed, impelling them to engage in such theatrics. However, change is inevitable in Uttar Pradesh. The people of the state are set to evince trust in the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP President Amit Shah in the forthcoming polls,” Sharma said.
Meanwhile, the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) alleged that the Mulayam-led party is collapsing like a pack of cards and will very soon disintegrate and vanish.
Highlighting the recent unwarranted incidents which took place in Uttar Pradesh, BSP’s Sudhindra Bhadoria alleged the fight in the party is for loot and booty.
