Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on August 5 accused the BJP of employing its own version of 'Hindutva' to "divide" society and grab power, and asserted there is a need to save the "true Hindutva".
He also accused the BJP government of conducting "fake encounters", and said people will "encounter the BJP government in 2024" which "is necessary for saving the Constitution".
Mr. Yadav also claimed opposition alliance INDIA (Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance) will uproot the "divisive" BJP government in 2024 with the support of the PDA (Pichhade, Dalit, Alpsankhyak) in Uttar Pradesh.
"They (the BJP) have done a lot of fake encounters. Now people will encounter the BJP government in 2024," Mr. Yadav told PTI in an interview when he was asked how the INDIA bloc and the SP will counter the BJP challenge in the Lok Sabha polls.
About the future of opposition alliance in the state, Mr. Yadav said, "The SP is there. More parties that are willing to join the INDIA alliance are welcome. Our PDA (Pichhade, Dalit and Alpsankhyak) will defeat the BJP this time. The BJP has done nothing except dividing the society."
He also alleged the BJP "misused" the medium of communication and coined "new lies" everyday, and it is imperative they are stopped from coming to power so the Constitution made by Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar is saved.
The BJP's 'Hindutva' is focussed on dividing society and there is a need to save the "true Hindutva" by true Hindus, he said. "We have to save people from fake Hindus who misused Hindutva for grabbing power."
