Former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav on 17 September, Monday, attacked Modi government and expressed confidence in stitching a strong alliance to oust the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the 2019 general elections.
“There should be birthday wishes for him but we also expect a party. At least he can throw a party for the country,” said Akhilesh Yadav.
Raising concerns on the current problems faced by the country, the former UP Chief Minister said:
His statement came a day after Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati said that her party will only form an alliance if they get a fair share of seats.
"We will agree to alliance anywhere and in any election only when we get a fair share of seats, otherwise BSP will contest alone," she had said.
