"Farmers, Regional Parties Will Wipe Out BJP In UP Polls": Akhilesh Yadav | Read

A pincer movement by angry farmers in western Uttar Pradesh and regional parties in the eastern part of the state will wipe out the ruling BJP in next year's election, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav told NDTV on Thursday. Addressing a rally in UP's Muzaffarnagar district, Mr Yadav said the alliance between his outfit and the Suheldev Bhartiya Samaj Party (SBSP) would help close the doors for the BJP in this part of the state. "There will definitely be a change in 2022. The people of Muzaffarnagar have never failed the Samajwadi Party (and) since OP Rajbhar (the SBSP chief) joined us, the doors to the east have been closed to the BJP," Mr Yadav told NDTV.
