TIL Desk/National/Meerut/ Rahul Gandhi and Akhilesh Yadav today attacked BJP and BSP claiming the “Samajwadi Party-Congress storm” sweeping Uttar Pradesh will “blow them away” and “finish” Prime Minister Narendra Modi who is “trying to bring Company Raj” in India.
Addressing a joint poll rally in Meerut, the Congress Vice-President said they will not allow BJP to “spread hatred” in Uttar Pradesh which a “state of peace and harmony”. “As soon as Congress-Samajwadi Party joined hands, the alliance’s storm hit the state. This storm will finish Narendra Modi, BJP, Mayawati and BSP,” he told his supporters.
Earlier this week, addressing a rally in Aligarh, PM Modi had attacked the nascent SP-Congress alliance saying the BJP “storm” had forced Akhilesh Yadav to desperately seek the help of anything, “even a pole”, to retain power.
Hitting back at the Prime Minister over the “storm” remarks, Mr Yadav on Tuesday said if there is any “aandhi (storm)” in the state, it is for making the SP-Congress alliance government.
“We are Samajwadi people. Even if there is a storm we will face it head on. We know how to paddle the ‘cycle’ (SP’s poll symbol) through a storm,” he said.
