New Delhi: Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya has once again hit back at Samajwadi Party President and former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav’s ‘vanguard’ statement. Maurya, who is in Delhi to attend the conclave of Chief Ministers and Deputy Chief Ministers of BJP-ruled states, opened a front against the SP supremo on Saturday and said that he has inflated like a balloon due to the success he got in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections by lying to the public. Let us tell you that a round of attack and counter-attack has been going on between Yadav and Maurya for the last few days.
‘They are making absurd statements’
Maurya posted on ‘X’ on Saturday, ‘Congress’s pawn SP chief Shri Akhilesh Yadav ji is making absurd statements after seeing his defeat in 2027. He has inflated like a balloon after getting success in 2024 by lying to the public. He should remember the defeat of SP in 2014/2017/2019/2022 (Lok Sabha and assembly elections). 2017 will be repeated in 2027.’ In the 2017 assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, when Keshav Prasad Maurya was the state president of BJP, the party and its allies won 325 seats out of 403 seats in the state while SP was reduced to 47 seats.
Akhilesh had called Maurya a ‘pawn’
Let us tell you that in the 2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha elections, BJP had performed well in Uttar Pradesh while it got an absolute majority in the 2022 assembly elections. SP chief Yadav had said on Friday that it has been heard that Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya is a ‘pawn’. He had alleged that corruption in the state is being exposed because some people like Maurya have become the ‘passwords’ of ‘Delhi’s Wi-Fi’. Maurya also retaliated on Friday and alleged that Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav has become a ‘pawn’ of the Congress.
