Cong. more keen on forming UP govt. in 2022, rather than halting BJP: Akhilesh

TIL Desk/National/Lucknow/ Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav Friday said the Congress game plan was not to stop the BJP from forming the government at the Centre, but to come to power in Uttar Pradesh in 2022. He also that the SP and BSP have sacrificed seats in national interest.

“Our intention is clear right from the word go. We formed alliance (with BSP and RLD) to stop the communal party and in the process, we in the SP and also the BSP had to sacrifice seats in national interest,” he told.

But, the Congress’ agenda in the ongoing parliamentary polls is not to stop the BJP from forming the next government at the Centre. They are working for making the next UP chief minister in 2022 (when the next assembly polls are due) Akhilesh said. His no holds barred attack came days after he lashed out at the Congress for its “too big ego”.
