"Who Wants BJP Invite?" Akhilesh Yadav With Jat Ally By His Side
NDTV
With his Jat ally by his side, Akhilesh Yadav today launched an all-out attack against the BJP in Uttar Pradesh's Muzaffarnagar this evening shortly after alleging the ruling party delayed his arrival from Delhi by halting his chopper.
In a savage swipe, Mr Yadav denied the buzz about a post-poll alliance between the BJP and the Rashtriya Lok Dal's Jayant Choudhary. "Unka niyotaa maan kaun raha hai? Sochiye kaise halaat hain unki ki niyotaa dena pad raha hai. (Who is accepting their invitation? Imagine what condition they're in ... that they're sending invites)."
"A historic SP-RLD win will wipe out the BJP," he declared demonstrating a united front amid a season of crossovers in UP.
The Samajwadi Party chief's remarks come two days after Mr Choudhary tweeted a strong rebuff amid the speculation. "The invitation is not for me, give it to those 700 farmer families whose houses you have destroyed!!" he had tweeted, referring to the deaths during the year-long protests against the contentious farm laws that were eventually withdrawn ahead of the state polls.
