Yadav attacked both the Congress and the BJP, saying, “The most corrupt party in the country is the BJP. What did the Congress give us? Four Gandhis - Indira, Rajiv, Sonia and Rahul. And what did BJP give the country? Modi. Nirav Modi, Lalit Modi and Narendra Modi.”

Promising a victory for the SP-BSP alliance in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, he said that the alliance would defeat the BJP easily. “Inn BJP waalon ko toh dauda dauda kar maarenge. Ghabrane ki zaroorat nahi hai. (We’ll chase and thrash the BJP, there is no need to worry.),” he said.

Yadav’s speech came on the day Mayawati asked the alliance partners and the workers to gift an electoral victory to her as a birthday present. She had also exhorted the alliance workers to forget the past and instead work together for the alliance’s victory.

Both BSP Supreme Mayawati and SP chief Akhilesh Yadav had announced a tie-up between the two parties on Saturday to fight the BJP. The two Uttar Pradesh leaders have decided to contest on 38 seats each leaving just two seats for the Congress.

However, soon after the two leaders made the announcement, the Congress said it would contest all 80 seats on its own in the state.
