NDTV
The Prime Minister was answering a question about optics in Uttar Pradesh with SP and RLD coming together.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday took a dig at Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav and Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) chief Jayant Chaudhury who are contesting the Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls in an alliance and said the state had earlier seen the "game of two boys" and 'buaji' too was with them but the people of the state rejected the alliance.
"Ye do ladkon wala khel to humne pehle bhi dekha tha (This game of two boys we have seen earlier too. They had so much arrogance that they used the words 'Gujarat's two donkeys'. And the people of Uttar Pradesh showed them the 'hisab'. And then there were these two boys and there was buaji also with them and still, they could not make it," he said in an exclusive interview with ANI.
"Bua" was an apparent reference to Bahujan Samajwadi Party chief Mayawati by the Prime Minister.
In the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, the BSP, Samajwadi and RLD had formed an alliance against the BJP. The Congress with its leader Rahul Gandhi and Samajwadi Party had fought the 2017 assembly polls in the state in an alliance.
