Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday claimed the BJP will not win any seat in the third phase of the Lok Sabha polls and that the ruling party misunderstood the «direction of the wind» when it made its slogan of «400 paar». Addressing a rally in Sambhal, Yadav also said the Samajwadi Party had an advantage in the third phase, saying that elections on May 7 will be held between Sambhal and «his home» in Etawah and Mainpuri. «BJP people did not know the direction of the wind, so they kept saying '400 paar' (winning over 400 seats) and when they realised the public sentiment after the two phases of the election, BJP forgot its slogan,» the former UP chief minister said.
«The wind that came from the west (western UP) in the first phase will change the BJP government. The similar trend was seen in the second phase also. People are not accepting the BJP,» the SP chief said.
«It is now your responsibility in the third phase,» he added to those gathered for the rally taken out in support of party candidate Zia ur Rahman Barq.
