“After the defeat in Haryana, the entire INDI alliance is resorting to political maneuvers. They realized that the people of the country want Prime Minister Narendra Modi to carry forward the ideology of Jai Prakash Narayan. Jai Prakash Narayan had an anti-emergency ideology But Akhilesh Yadav forgot that and allied himself with the Congress,” he said.

“Akhilesh Yadav knows he will lose in the next elections. So he will try to play one victim card after another to divert attention from this defeat. Arvind Kejriwal is trying the same in Delhi because they are losing deposits. So in Haryana, people of UP and the country are asking Akhilesh Yadav if he believed in the ideals of Jayaprakash Narayan, why did he join the emergency party, the BJP leader added.
