Lucknow, Sept. 18 -- The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) opened a broadside with the Samajwadi Party (SP) on Wednesday and accused SP president Akhilesh Yadav of having no other agenda except to grab power. Deputy chief minister Brajesh Pathak said Akhilesh Yadav has made many misleading and fabricated statements "today. I would like to respond to all these statements." Advising Yadav to introspect, Pathak said, "Why do you (Akhilesh Yadav) keep bringing up bulldozers from time to time?

Pathak said that Akhilesh was referring to the land mafia. During the Samajwadi Party's rule, government land was encroached upon under their protection. Not only this, but even the land of ordinary people was encroached upon by goons, mafia, and criminals under the protection of the Samajwadi Party. "Before discussing law and order, you should inspect your own conscience," he said. Uttar Pradesh BJP president Bhupendra Singh Chaudhary on Wednesday accused the Samajwadi Party (SP) and its chief, Akhilesh Yadav, of indulging in "politics of lies and rumours" with no concrete agenda except grabbing power. He alleged that during the SP regime, cow smugglers enjoyed protection and illegal slaughterhouses flourished, while the Yogi Adityanath government has taken strict action. Jal Shakti minister Swatantra Dev Singh also launched a scathing attack on Akhilesh Yadav and said during the SP regime, the state had become a den of goons and mafia....
