SP feud orchestrated to divert attention from failures: BJP

The factional feud in the Samajwadi Party again came in the open as Mulayam Singh Yadav once again expelled general secretary Ramgopal Yadav for six years.

BJP on Sunday alleged that the turmoil in Samajwadi Party was a “well orchestrated” ploy to divert attention from the “failures” of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav. Union Minister and senior BJP leader Venkaiah Naidu said the happenings in Samajwadi Party is like a “family drama” with full of “comedy” but it will end up in a “tragedy” resulting in total pack up of the Akhilesh Yadav government.

“In 2012, people chose Samajwadi Party with high hopes, but they betrayed people. The Akhilesh Yadav government has proved to be a dud on all points including drinking water, law and order, power and education. The only thing they have to shown in terms of achievements is lawlessness in the state,” he said.
