Lucknow, Jan 15: Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav on Saturday announced that he would not let any more BJP MLAs or ministers join the SP.
Let me tell BJP that I will not take any BJP MLA, minister anymore. They can deny tickets (to their leaders) if they wish to: SP chief Akhilesh Yadav.
The statement of the former chief minister came after eight BJP MLAs and ministers joined Samajwadi party yesterday.
Akhilesh also alleged Bhim Army Chief Chandrashekhar Azad refused to form an alliance with SP abruptly after speaking to someone on phone.
“I had allotted 2 seats to him, but he (Bhim Army chief Chandrashekhar Azad) received some call and refused to be part of the alliance,” said Akhilesh during a press conference.
On UP CM’s candidature from Gorakhpur for Assembly polls, SP chief Akhilesh Yadav said that, ” I’m thankful to BJP. They have sent him home even before (polls), though people would have done it… Speculation was rife over Yogi Adityanath contesting from Ayodhya, Prayagraj and then this.”
