Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Monday declared that his party will extend full support to the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) in the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections. Speaking to reporters at the SP headquarters, Yadav vowed to expose what he called the BJP’s “scams” in Uttar Pradesh during the Bihar campaign.
“We will fully support respected Lalu Prasad Yadav ji and Tejashwi ji in the Bihar elections. The scams committed by the BJP in Uttar Pradesh will be revealed there, and people will be told the truth,” Yadav asserted.
The former Uttar Pradesh chief minister also predicted that the BJP has no intention of retaining Nitish Kumar as chief minister, despite using his name for votes. “They are using Nitish Kumar ji’s name and face, but they won’t make him chief minister again. We once considered projecting him as prime minister, but now look — they will even retire him from the CM post. The BJP will force him to retire,” Yadav said.
Taking aim at the BJP’s religious posturing, Yadav accused the ruling party of hypocrisy. “Those who commit injustice, discriminate, and exploit children for politics cannot call themselves Sanatani,” he said.
“In today’s politics, merely wearing saffron robes doesn’t make someone a baba or a yogi. True identity comes from one’s thoughts and conduct,” Yadav added, in a veiled attack on Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
Yadav further accused the BJP of diverting attention from the real issues facing the country. “They don’t want to discuss fundamental problems. But the people are waiting — the 2027 elections in Uttar Pradesh will be like no other poll you’ve seen before,” he concluded.
