After the Samajwadi Party lost its stronghold to the BJP in the by-elections of Azamgarh and Rampur, Asaduddin Owaisi sharpened his criticism of Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday. The former chief minister, who had emerged as the BJP’s main rival in the crucial UP state elections, could not deter the ruling party from winning elections in February and March. He, however, insisted on a significant improvement in the SP’s total of assembly votes.
“Akhilesh Yadav is very arrogant. His father (former Chief Minister of UP Mulayam Singh Yadav) was an MP from that seat. Then he was elected. He does not even go there to tell the people why he is not contesting from this seat.
“Uttar Pradesh bypoll results show that the Samajwadi Party is unable to defeat the BJP… they do not have intellectual honesty. Minority community should not vote for such incompetent parties. Who is responsible for BJP’s victory, now, who will they name as B-team, C-team,” he said.
The reference to the “B-team” was probably made in reference to Mayawati’s remarks to label Akhilesh Yadav and others as the BJP’s “B-team” due to her party’s dismal performance in the state elections. Criticizing.
Months after Akhilesh Yadav decided to lead the opposition in the state assembly and resigned from his Lok Sabha seat, Azamgarh bypolls were held. SP chief Azam Khan has set foot in Rampur and the state police has registered several cases against him. However, the SP refers to it as “vendetta politics”.
Bhojpuri actor-singer Dinesh Lal Yadav and BJP candidate known as “Nirhua” won the Azamgarh seat, while another BJP candidate Ghanshyam Lodhi ousted the Samajwadi Party from Rampur parliamentary seat.
