On the meeting of India Alliance, SP Chief Akhilesh Yadav said that it has been decided among all the leaders that the alliance has to be further strengthened. Speaking to the media in Lucknow on Tuesday (June 9), he said that the India alliance will become stronger only when we will compete with the Bharatiya Janata Party in UP and remove them. When BJP is removed then India alliance will become stronger.

What did you say on PM Modi’s record?

PM Narendra Modi will break Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru’s record of serving as Prime Minister on June 10. On this, Akhilesh Yadav said, “Come with me to the petrol pump. Perhaps after independence, such expensive diesel and petrol would never have been sold. People have invented in the disaster. They have made the cylinder a stove. I have heard that the government is not able to fill the LPG cylinder which was publicized so much.”

Further, he said, “If ethanol is not mixed in diesel-petrol, then who knows what the price will be… What a big achievement it is in 12 years that the most expensive petrol is available. The truth is that our foreign policy has failed. If the foreign policy would have been right then people would not have faced so much problem. There are no jobs, no employment, no investment.”

The SP Chief also said, “When the government starts looking weak, it adopts the communal path. The Chief Minister has been speaking so much communal language in the last 10 days. I have heard that some ministers have been removed, halved, they will be cleared in a few days.”

On the Ram temple offering, he said, “In the information I got, some things came out regarding the offerings. Many newspapers wrote about it. Some TV channels said that some people would be arrested on the basis of CCTV cameras, four people were found suspicious. After all, where are those binoculars and drones with double engine? Had the binoculars and drones been working, we would not have got a chance to say anything. Eventually the talk of arrest came up and then who turned around? Who are the responsible people changing their statement? There is something or the other behind this. Who are the people who are pressurizing Lucknow not to publish this news?
