On Sunday, former Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav took a swipe at the ruling BJP in the state, saying that people in UP have decided to'remove' the BJP from power.
Yadav, speaking to the media, hoped that BJP would lose in the upcoming poll, like it lost in the by-poll of UP's Ghosi.
He said: Mr Yadav's remarks were unfavorable, adding that he had a good understanding of the situation.
Smajwadi Party's Sudhakar Singh, who won the Ghosi bypoll, was also crowned.
This was the first victory by the opposition INDIA alliance and a test for the unity of the opposition bloc, as none of them fielded candidates in Ghosi and chose to support the Samajwadi Party candidate.
The SP Chief said his party has played a major role in shaping policies for the infrastructure that are getting implemented today by the BJP-led government in the state.
He said that although there were no explosions, he had no idea what was going on.
On being asked about the opposition party of Aam Adami against Congress in Punjab, Yadav said that the opposition bloc-INDIA will find some way out.
He said that he would not tell the truth of how the bill is being passed, but added that he did not think it was necessary.
