Agra (Uttar Pradesh) [India], February 9 (ANI): After BJP’s win in the Delhi assembly polls, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday stated that defeats are lessons, asserting that the INDIA bloc will gain more strength in the future.
Akhilesh Yadav has campaigned for Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) candidates in the Delhi assembly polls, but AAP suffered a massive setback, securing only 22 seats–a huge drop from its previous tally of 62 in 2020 polls, while the BJP won a historic mandate on Saturday, returning to power in the national capital after 27 years by winning 48 seats in the 70-member Delhi assembly.
“We wanted AAP to win the Delhi elections, but BJP won. In a democracy, we have to accept the people’s mandate. Defeat teaches a lot, and in the days to come, the INDIA alliance will gain more strength,” the SP chief said.
He also alleged that the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) indulged in large-scale rigging in the Milkipur bypolls.
“But in the Milkipur by-elections, it wasn’t an election but a loot. The people have seen it. PDA is seeing that. Those who are saying that they have taken revenge for losing the Ayodhya seat (in Lok Sabha), I want to tell them–you cannot take revenge from Ayodhya,” he stated.
Notably, BJP also secured a resounding victory in the Milkipur Assembly bypolls, where its candidate Chandrabhanu Paswan won by a thumping margin of 61,710 votes against SP’s Ajit Prasad. (ANI)
