UP Elections 2022: Akhilesh Yadav-led SP protests after 16 lakh names were cut from voter list

Ahead of the 2022 Uttar Pradesh elections, Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav has threatened to sit on a sit-in against the Election Commission for allegedly deleting around 16 lakh names from the voter list. He questioned the functioning of the Election Commission and alleged that the officials posted in the state deliberately truncated 16 lakh names.

Addressing a press conference in Lucknow at the party headquarters on Tuesday, Yadav said, “Samajwadi Party will protest against the Election Commission. Details of more than 16 lakh missed names are not being given. The officers of Uttar Pradesh have been deliberately posted in the commission. A big question is also being raised on the work of the Election Commission.

Responding to the question of alliance with uncle Shivpal Yadav, he said, “I have spoken to him (Shivpal) over phone and even met uncle on Diwali and also talked to village elders. We have said that he will get maximum respect.”

Responding to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s recent statement in Kairana, he said, “A large number of farmers have committed suicide in Uttar Pradesh, many people have lost their lives in Corona, what has the government done about it? BJP should tell its achievements.” What work has BJP done. They should tell what they have done in four-and-a-half years.”

The Supreme Court is questioning the functioning of the SIT in the Lakhimpur Kheri case. The father of the main accused is still a minister at the Center and is sharing the stage with the Home Minister and the Chief Minister so how can you expect the farmers to get justice? The central MoS has still not resigned which is a surprise,” the former Uttar Pradesh chief minister said.

Hitting out at the BJP government on the issue of demonetisation, Yadav said, “Demonetisation was done a few years back due to which people had to stand in queues. In such a queue, the cashier was born outside the bank. We have been celebrating the birthday of the cashier, instead, BJP should come forward and celebrate the occasion and also they should give some gifts to the cashier. Our transactions are white and black but Rupee is not white or black. Demonetisation was done deliberately to harass the public.
