SP to form next govt after winning 2022 polls: Akhilesh Yadav

VARANASI: Former chief minister and Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav claimed that his party would form the next government in the state after winning the 2022 Assembly elections. While taking to reporters during his visit to Mirzapur on Friday, he said, “We are going to form the government with absolute majority in 2022, and for the same the workers training camps are being held in every division.” Raising the issues of rising petroleum prices and agricultural laws, he said that while the middle class is reeling under growing inflation, the new farm laws would prove to be a death warrant for the farmers. “The BJP has forgotten the promises made in its sankalp patra (poll manifesto) during the elections,” he said adding that the UP’s politics has reached a decisive point, and the SP is fully prepared to give it a befitting reply. Akhilesh said that all sections of the society are looking towards the SP. He alleged that the BJP government has done nothing, and is only inaugurating the projects completed during the SP regime. The solar plant at Vijaypur hill in Mirzapur was sanctioned during the SP government, he said adding that this government is selling only dreams. Akhilesh also offered prayer at Sheetala Mandir and visited Swami Adgadanand Ashram in Sakteshgarh during the visit. He will also take part in Sant Ravidas Jayanti at Seer Goverdhanpur in Varanasi on Saturday.
