Not just statute, BJP threat to peoples' lives too: SP chief Akhilesh Yadav

Meerut/Bareilly: With some Samajwadi Party (SP) strongholds like Mainpuri going to Lok Sabha polls in the third phase, party chief Akhilesh Yadav, who addressed a public meeting at Budaun in support of his uncle Shivpal Yadav's son, Aditya Yadav, on Saturday, took a dig at the ruling party, saying BJP will be completely wiped out in the next phase.

"BJP's tenure was about fake promises. People have rejected them this time, which was reflected in the first two phases of polls," he said.

Referring to the Covid vaccine row, he said, "Not just Constitution, BJP is a threat to peoples' lives."

Attacking the BJP-led govt, he said, "They used to say that they would double the income of farmers. If a farmer checks his account, he'll find he is incurring losses instead. This is the condition of farmers today... Govt wanted to snatch farmers' lands with the three black farm laws and only withdrew it after a massive farmers' protest. However, the struggle is not over yet... This govt wants to change the Constitution."
