Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Friday slammed the BJP and accused them of making “political benefits” from the Kolkata medic’s rape and murder case.
“BJP has a talent for doing politics on every incident. BJP has the talent of taking political benefit over every incident and dishonouring others,” he added.
Before interacting with the media, Akhilesh Yadav offered flowers on the statue of freedom fighter Maharani Avantibai Lodhi here to mark her birth anniversary. The statue is located right outside the gate of BJP’s state headquarters in Lucknow.
By-elections are to be held in 10 assembly seats in UP. The dates of the polls have not yet been declared.
“We cannot forget the way BJP has used black money in elections. BJP has become a group of corrupts and those who give jumlas (empty phrases),” Yadav said.
The biggest question before the nation is that inflation should be reduced and the unemployed get jobs, he added.
