Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav today thanked and congratulated the people of Noorpur and Kairana after a resounding verdict for the opposition bloc. He said, "This is a win for farmers, neglected, poor and Dalits. This is a win for social justice, of Charan Singh's heritage, of Samajwadi principles. Voters voted in extreme heat, poor, farmers, women, everybody stood in lines to vote. BJP tried to deflect attention from core issues."
