Kolkata: Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Tuesday had visited Kolkata and after visiting Kalighat temple had met Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee at the state secretariat Nabanna.
Talking to the media after the meeting, Yadav said that Didi can defeat Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
“The BJP has still not forgotten the pain of pen drive. Didi has defeated Enforcement Directorate (ED) and she will defeat BJP. Why would someone steal information on a pen drive? In the name of SIR, the BJP is dividing votes and is trying to cut the votes of the oppositions. The poll body earlier used to encourage people to cast more votes. Didi will return again as the Chief Minister,” said Yadav.
