Samajwadi Party national president Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday asserted that the people of Uttar Pradesh have made up their mind to bring the Samajwadi Party to power in 2027, declaring that the political battle has shifted from “80 versus 20” to “95 versus 5.”
“This time it is not 80 versus 20. It is 95 versus 5. “The public is ready. The end of the BJP is near,” he stated, accusing the ruling party of injustice, oppression, high prices and unemployment. The SP national president appealed to party workers to protect their booths and voter lists, alleging that the BJP wins elections through “dishonesty and rigging. He accused the ruling party of attempting malpractices during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, but claimed SP workers and PDA volunteers had safeguarded the votes. Yadav also demanded that voter lists be linked to Aadhaar cards and suggested making Aadhaar cards out of metal to prevent forgery.
Looking at impending defeat, the chief minister’s language and behaviour have changed,” Yadav said. Addressing a press conference at the party’s state headquarters in Lucknow on Wednesday, Yadav said farmers, youth, workers and traders across the state are yearning for change.
