SP will form govt in UP: Akhilesh Yadav
Description
Jaipur: Former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Akhilesh Yadav claimed here on Friday that the Samajwadi Party (SP) will form government after the assembly elections. He also targeted the Centre, saying inflation and unemployment have become major issues concerning the people of the whole country. Yadav came to Jaipur on Friday to attend a marriage function. "The Samajwadi Party is going to form the government in Uttar Pradesh. We have taken regional parties along," Yadav told reporters here. The SP leader said unemployment and inflation are big issues in the country. "As far as Uttar Pradesh elections are concerned, inflation is a big question before the people of the entire country and not only in Uttar Pradesh,” he said. “Unemployment is a big question before the youth. At the same time, the farmers are demanding the repeal of the three farm laws and asking when will their income be doubled. These are big issues," he said. He refused to comment on the controversy over excerpts from senior Congress leader Salman Khurshid's book, saying he had not read the book. Congress leader Salman Khurshid in his book on Ayodhya had apparently compared "Hindutva" with Islamist terror groups ISIS.
