‘BJP conspiracy’: Akhilesh Yadav alleges helicopter stopped in desperation of losing UP Polls

“Akhilesh Yadav’s chopper was not granted permission by Air Traffic Control (ATC) to fly initially because of high air traffic. After the clearance was given, the chopper had less fuel. After refuelling, the chopper flew to the destined place,” news agency ANI reported quoting a Delhi airport official.

In a tweet in Hindi, the SP president posted a picture with the helicopter and said, “My helicopter is not allowed to fly from Delhi without assigning any reason.”

Yadav also alleged that “a top BJP leader has just flown from here” before he was stopped from taking off in his helicopter. He further accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of being “desperate” and alleged it was a conspiracy.

Later in another tweet, Akhilesh said he was ready to take a flight. About half an hour later, the SP chief again tweeted, “The abuse of power is a sign of the people losing. This day will also be recorded in the history of socialist struggle. We are going to take a historic flight to history.”

Akhilesh Yadav and RLD chief Jayant Chaudhary were scheduled to address a joint press conference in Muzaffarnagar.

After reaching Muzaffarnagar, Yadav again took to Twitter to attack the ruling saffron party. Posting a picture of him and Rashtriya Lok Dal chief, Jayant Chaudhary, Yadav said, “In Muzaffarnagar, the SP-RLD together took a ‘united food resolution’ to defeat and remove the BJP government, which committed atrocities and injustice on Annadata.”
