Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, who is part of the INDIA bloc, took on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “Mangalsutra” remarks at a public rally, saying that the middle class who is also affected by unemployment and inflation is voting against the ruling party.
“Those who had taken away hard-earned money of poor and women during demonetization are talking about jewellery today. The truth is that the middle class, who have one or two pieces of jewellery, is also voting against the BJP because the middle and lower middle-class people are also affected by unemployment and inflation just like the poor, farmers, labourers, youth, backwards, Dalit, minorities, half of the population of women, tribals as well as the sad and oppressed upper castes,” Yadav said in a post on ‘X’.
