UP Assembly polls: Not three-fourth seats, BJP meant it will get 3 or 4 seats, says Akhilesh Yadav

Yadav was taking a swipe at BJP’s “80 versus 20” assertion. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had recently said that in the Assembly elections, while 80 percent supporters will be on one side, 20 percent will be on the other

Lucknow: Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Friday took a swipe at Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, saying by the “80 versus 20” assertion, he meant only 20 percent of the population will back the BJP in the Uttar Pradesh elections, while the remaining 80 percent will support his party.

But after the arrival of Swami Prasad Maurya and others in the SP, the saffron party would lose even this 20 per cent, Yadav said in his speech after giving party membership to Maurya and others here. “Baba mukhya mantri (Adityanath) should engage a math teacher,” the SP president said, referring to the chief minister’s “80 vs 20” remark.

Adityanath had recently said that in the Uttar Pradesh elections, while 80 percent supporters will be on one side, 20 percent will be on the other, which many thought was alluding to the 20 percent Muslim population in the state.

Yadav also brushed aside the BJP’s claim of winning three-fourth seats in the 403-member Uttar Pradesh Assembly, saying, “they meant they will win three or four seats.”
