Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday said that the party’s alliance with Congress will continue in Uttar Pradesh. He also said that they would contest the 2019 Lok Sabha election together. “The alliance with the Congress will continue and we will contest the next election unitedly,” he told reporters at Vrindavan. On being questioned about PM Narendra Modi’s statement that this year Diwali has arrived in advance after relaxations announced in the Goods and Services Tax (GST), the former UP CM said Ask the trader and he would counter the claim.”
Akhilesh Yadav answering another question said that the BJP government in Uttar Pradesh cannot match up to the Samajwadi Party regime which was headed by him. Inspite of visiting Mathura thrice, UP CM Yogi Adityanath has done nothing for the “Brijbhumi”. Even the “dream project” announced by the Yogi government for the development of Vrindavan had remained a “dream”, he said.
Samajwadi Party chief further went on to say that the Yogi government has done nothing to clean up the Yamuna river. Regarding offering a respectable position to senior leader Shiv Pal Yadav in the party, he said it was a family matter which would be settled amicably.
