Akhilesh Yadav and Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya over reports of alleged infighting within BJP's UP unit. While reacting to Akhilesh's claim regarding alleged infighting in the BJP's UP unit, Maurya asserted that BJP has a strong organisation and has its government both at the Centre and the state.
«SP Bahadur Shri Akhilesh Yadav ji, BJP has a strong organisation and government both in the country and the state, SP's PDA is a 'Dhokha» (fraud/cheat). The return of SP's hooliganism in UP is impossible. BJP will repeat 2017 in the 2027 assembly elections," Maurya posted on X.
Since Maurya is his party's prominent OBC face, his comments are politically significant.
Earlier, Akhilesh Yadav had alleged «infighting» in the BJP and claimed that it was harming people's welfare. «In this fight for power, it is the people of Uttar Pradesh who are suffering,» he told reporters at the SP headquarters.

It is facing many internal rifts and it is a party that is losing its way,» Yadav posted on X on Wednesday.
