Progressive Samaj Party (PSP) national president Shivpal Singh Yadav has given a big statement regarding the defeat of the Samajwadi Party in the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections. He has said that the organization of SP could not work properly in this election, if booth committee had been formed five years ago and tickets were distributed on time, BJP would have got 100 and we would have got 300 seats. He also accused the BJP of dishonesty.
Shivpal held a press conference in Etawah and wished the people of the state a very happy Holi. He said that the election is over. People should forget the old hatred and celebrate the festival of Holi peacefully. During this, he also said that the defeat is being reviewed. Accusing the BJP of dishonesty, he said that it won the election not by the mandate, but by manipulation and dishonesty. During the election, there was rigging in the timing list at every booth. The ASP himself got the votes cast by asking for the forms of the policemen on duty.
Reason for defeat – Shivpal Yadav further accused the BJP and said that the SP won the maximum number of 304 seats through postal ballot. The BJP had arranged the officers to be dishonest. The officials made the BJP win the election through dishonesty and cunning. We were defeated by the dishonesty and cunning of the BJP. There was mass base with SP, but the organization was not ready. Five years ago, if the booth committees had been fixed and tickets were distributed to the candidates on time, the SP would have crossed 300 seats and the BJP would not have got even 100 seats.
Said this thing about Swami Prasad- On the order of action on Swami Prasad Maurya leaving the BJP and joining the SP, Shivpal said that justice should be given after sitting on the chair. Who said what during the election should be forgotten. One should not act out of vengeance. BJP’s decision is against both democracy and the country.
Statement about Aparna Yadav- On the discussion that Mulayam Singh Yadav’s younger daughter-in-law Aparna Yadav should be made a cabinet minister, Shivpal said that with his blessings, someone should make him the chief minister. On the question of getting the responsibility of Leader of Opposition, he said that he will fulfill the responsibility given to him by Akhilesh Yadav. They are not going to sit at home. We will fight together.
