Yadav took to Twitter stating that issues like rising prices, unemployment and gross neglect of farmers and poor are red alerts for the BJP.

He said the colour red will start a revolution which will lead to change of government in 2022 assembly polls.

The Samajwadi Party also uploaded the part of an election campaign song which talks of ‘Lal topi’ leading to a cycle of change. While red cap is the SP’s traditional party head gear, cycle is their election symbol.

Hours after the PM attacked the SP while addressing a gathering in Gorakhpur, Akhilesh took to Twitter saying: "The red alert for the BJP is rising prices, unemployment, the poor condition of farmers and labourers; It is about Hathras, Lakhimpur and harassment of women and youth. It is about a collapsed education system, trade and health and also an alert that the 'red cap' that will push the BJP out of power this time."

He ended his tweet with a photograph of himself waving a SP flag with Rashtriya Lok Dal chief Jayant Chaudhary at the joint rally in Meerut on Tuesday carrying the slogan: “Red will lead to a revolution, 2022 will witness a change”.
