Mumbai: Samajwadi party leader Akhilesh Yadav addressed a huge rally in Sion in Mumbai on Sunday. He claimed that ruling Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) cannot contest elections on the issue of development and hence it has adopted British policy of divide and rule. The SP leader attacked the Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying he failed to keep the promises given to citizens and his party is misleading people of India.
Mr Yadav demanded that the elections should be conducted through ballet and not through machines. He said even in Uttar Pradesh operators of petrol pumps with little education were able to tamper chips in petrol dispensing machines to deliver less petrol. He gave examples of ATM frauds and said when all this could happen then EVMs can also be tampered.
In his half-an-hour long speech, Mr Yadav asked his party workers and supporters to be prepared for 2019 general elections and UP Assembly elections in 2022.
“All the claims about bringing back black money, curbing corruptions and benefits of imposing GST have fallen flat,” he said.
