UP Deputy slams Akhilesh, says should change his name to Akhilesh Ali Jinnah
Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister, Keshav Prasad Maurya suggested that Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav should change his name to ‘Akhilesh Ali Jinnah‘.
Akhilesh Yadav faced a backlash from the people over his remarks on Jinnah during a public meeting in Hardoi earlier this month.
Akhilesh Yadav is also on the BJP’s target ever since he used Jinnah’s name along with Mahatma Gandhi and other freedom fighters, saying they helped India get freedom and never backed away from the struggle, earlier this month.
While talking to reporters Maurya said, “The politics of appeasement of the Samajwadi Party has brought Jinnah to the forefront. That is why I say to Akhilesh Yadav that he should change his name to Akhilesh Ali Jinnah. And he should change the name of his party to Jinnahwadi Party.”
Maurya further warned the Samajwadi Party that Jinnah would not win them elections. He also targeted Akhilesh Yadav over his party’s link with gangster-turned-politicians.
“Neither (Mohammad Ali) Jinnah nor Atiq Ahmed or (Mukhtar) Ansari will help him win in this election. The people of UP have chosen lotus (BJP). The advantage is reaching the people of the state with honesty. There were mafia and goons here, those have ended and the people are at peace,” he said.
Maurya said that the Samajwadi party is in panic after its electoral defeats. He asked them to be prepared for defeat again next year.
