Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Tuesday promised a kilo of ‘ghee’ for the poor and free ration for five years if his party wins Uttar Pradesh polls while claiming that BJP supporters have become “numb” after the first two phases of voting.
He also alleged the BJP government was all set to discontinue its free-ration scheme but deferred it because of the elections.
“The poor availing their rations will get it till the elections. Earlier, it was to be given till November but when the Uttar Pradesh elections were announced, they (BJP) said people will get it till March,” Yadav said at a poll rally in Raebareli.
In Unnao he claimed the “haughtiness” of BJP supporters have vanished and they have become numb after the first two phases of the seven-phase election in Uttar Pradesh.
“Those talking about curbing the ‘garmi’ (haughtiness) of others were subdued by the people. They became frigid after the first phase. Following the second phase… their workers have gone numb. Now, when the people of Unnao cast their votes, the BJP will not be able to open its account here,” Yadav said.
The Samajwadi Party chief, in a tweet in Hindi on Monday with the hashtag ‘BjpGoBackGo’, said, “After seeing the response of people in the second phase it can be said that the SP alliance has completed its century (of seats).
