BJPScript to put SP in the same political structure if alliance with Congress BSP The failed vote transfer backfired.
BJP sources said the party is in no mood to bow down and will continue to attack the SP-RLD alliance and highlight its electoral failures. A senior BJP leader said the bitterness between Jats and Muslims has not subsided since the 2013 Muzaffarnagar riots and hence there is a possibility of vote transfer between the SP and the BJP. RLD stay.
Experts say that Yogi’s use of the word “ladcon” also reflects the BJP’s clever strategy of portraying Akhilesh and Jayant as ‘political teens’. This became clear when the Union minister joined the BJP. UP elections In-charge Dharmendra Pradhan termed Jayant as “politically immature”, who was not aware of the political maneuvers of his father, the late Ajit Singh, who was known to change political camps.

UP BJP spokesperson Hero Bajpai said that differences have come to the fore again over the fielding of candidates by the RLD and the SP ahead of the elections. He said, the alliance between Akhilesh and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi broke down in 2017 due to mistrust at the grassroots level, in which SP got 47 seats, Congress was restricted to seven.

Gandhi said, voters of SP and RLD will come together and ensure the defeat of BJP.
Election watchers say the BJP’s relentless attack on the SP-RLD alliance bears a resemblance to Yogi’s earlier taunts, when he termed the SP-BSP alliance “unnatural” during the 2018 Kairana and Nurpur bypolls. “How to play Kahu Rahim, sang Ber Ker. Meaning banana and berry are not eaten together (a banana and Indian berry can never go together),” Yogi Said then.
