Pragatisheel Samajwadi Party (PSP) President and Samajwadi Party (SP) MLA Shivpal Singh Yadav said that whatever responsibility SP President Akhilesh Yadav gives him, he will fulfill it with full honesty and integrity. Whether that responsibility is of the opposition party or the organization, they will fight together.
Shivpal Yadav admitted in a conversation with reporters on Wednesday that if the party candidate was elected and distributed tickets three to six months ago, today the SP alliance would have been close to power. He said that there is an urgent need to fight the elections strongly against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), that need will be fulfilled only when the SP alliance will put up a strong fight against the BJP.
While wishing the country and the people of the state on the occasion of Holi, the President said that the people who have just finished the elections should end the old hatred and celebrate the festival of Holi peacefully. Welcoming the mandate, he accused the BJP of winning the election by dishonesty and cunning and said that we are reviewing the defeat. He said that the BJP did not win the election by the mandate, but by the cunning and dishonesty. There has been rigging in the final list at every booth in the election. The SSP himself has got the form of the policemen engaged in duty got their votes cast. SP has got the maximum number of votes from the postal ballot in the state. By postal ballot, SP has won 304 seats.
Akhilesh Yadav said that we were defeated in the elections by the cunning and dishonesty of the BJP. There was a mass base with the SP but the organization of the SP was not ready. Speaking on the order of action against Swami Prasad Maurya, who left BJP and joined SP, Shivpal Yadav said that justice should be given after sitting on the chair. One should not act with vengeance by forgetting who said what during the election campaign. BJP’s decision is dangerous for both country and democracy.
