(This story originally appeared in on May 26, 2024)
SP chief and leader of Opposition in UP Assembly, Akhilesh Yadav, is leading a spirited campaign for INDIA Bloc in the ongoing LS elections. Amid a hectic campaigning schedule, he spoke to Pervez Iqbal Siddiqui about his PDA plank, tie-up with Congress and prospects of Opposition parties. Excerpts…
In your election speeches, you say INDIA bloc will win all 80 seats in UP. What is the assessment of your election war room?
In these elections, BJP will be given the final farewell. When results will be announced on June 4, it will be a day of freedom for many. June 5 INDIA bloc and Samajwadi Party’s PDA bouquet will prevail. It will be a historical day and a day of celebrations for all.
You have always maintained that your political aspirations were limited to UP itself and that you don’t aspire for national politics. Has that changed now?
It’s the same. Lucknow is Lucknow. Who would like to leave Sheher-e- Lucknow? (Pauses)…One can always fly to Delhi and come back to Lucknow. (Smiles)
