The fresh allegations come at a time when political parties are missing no opportunities ahead of the state's Assembly Polls due next year. 

Akhilesh Yadav eyes 400 seats in Uttar Pradesh Assembly Elections

The Samajwadi Party Cheif, Akhilesh Yadav recently made it clear that his camp will be forming coalitions with smaller parties to fight the upcoming UP assembly polls. The decision was taken days after the National President of the party formed bonds with the Mahan Dal wooing non-Yadav OBCs. Responding to the claim, Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi termed the remarks of winning over 400 seats in the upcoming Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections as "fantasy".

Addressing a press conference on Thursday, September 2 in Lucknow, Yadav had said, "Samajwadis have aimed at 'abki baar 400 paar'...Our effort will be to take people with us. You can't imagine the unhappiness among them, they don't want to see the BJP government in 2022." 

When asked about BJP's status for the upcoming UP assembly elections in the state, the SP chief said the BJP does not have a manifesto but only "Money-festo". The BJP is renaming the projects which were started by the previous SP government, and they have not done anything in the past four years, he added. Further attacking the BJP government, Yadav said that UP has become number one in black-marketing of COVID medicines, in custodial deaths, malnourished children, beating up youngsters for demanding employment and most unsafe place for women.
