In a veiled attack at BSP, Akhilesh Yadav said in UP’s Budaun, “The party has deviated from the ideals of Dalit icon B R Ambedkar and is contesting (polls) not to win, but to help the BJP retain power.”
Addressing a public meeting here, the Samajwadi Party chief said, all Samajwadis and Ambedkarites should join hands to bring about a change in Uttar Pradesh and protect the country’s constitution.
“Samajwadi Party is working to defeat the BJP, but one party intends to stop the SP,” Yadav said without naming the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) or any of its leaders.
“The party has deviated from the ideals of Dalit icon B R Ambedkar and is contesting (polls) not to win, but to help the BJP retain power,” he said.
