Akhilesh betrayed his father, uncle for power, now he has been punished by Mayawati: BJP

BJP UP spokesperson Harish Srivastava said that since Akhilesh had betrayed his father and uncle, he has now been punished by Mayawati's betrayal.

New Delhi: Hours after Bahujan Samaj Party Supremo Mayawati moved out of the alliance with Samajwadi Party as she announced plans of contesting all future elections solo, the Bharatiya Janata party took a dig at the SP chief and said that the Yadav scion was punished by Mayawati as he betrayed his father and uncle. Uttar Pradesh BJP spokesperson Harish Srivastava said that the SP-BSP alliance was an opportunistic coming together of the two parties just for the Lok Sabha polls. "BSP chief Mayawati sought votes from the Dalits and marginalised them. She cannot think about anyone beyond her family. Her history is full of betrayals. On the other hand, Akhilesh Yadav had termed corruption and nepotism as socialism. He should have thought 100 times before joining hands with Mayawati for opportunistic and selfish politics," Srivastava said in a statement. He said the BJP "saved" Mayawati's life and honour, established her in politics and made her chief minister. But she has been "disloyal to the BJP...how can she be loyal to the SP?" The English proverb 'as you sow so shall you reap' appropriately captures the goings-on in the state politics, he claimed. "For power, Akhilesh Yadav betrayed his father Mulayam Singh Yadav and uncle Shivpal Singh Yadav. Now he has been punished by Mayawati's betrayal," he said. Mayawati on Monday announced that her party would contest all the future elections on its own and is breaking all ties with Samajwadi Party in the state. This comes a day after reports of Mayawati blaming Akhilesh’s SP for massive defeat in the recent Lok Sabha elections surfaced.
