Political activities and rhetoric in Uttar Pradesh are gaining intense momentum as the ruling party sets its strategic goals for the upcoming assembly elections. During his visit to Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya made a bold political prediction, declaring that the Bharatiya Janata Party will secure a clean sweep across all twenty-five assembly seats in the Bareilly division and retain power in the state for a consecutive third term with a massive majority.
Keshav Prasad Maurya had traveled to Bareilly to attend a local talent felicitation ceremony and social harmony convention. Addressing party workers and supporters at the gathering, he formally set the target of capturing all twenty-five assembly segments in the division. He noted that out of these twenty-five seats, twenty are already held by the party, and a firm resolution has now been made to win the remaining five as well. He emphasized that everyone at the convention renewed this collective pledge to ensure total victory in the region, expressing absolute faith in another stellar electoral mandate.
Scathing attack on Akhilesh Yadav and the Samajwadi Party
During his address, Maurya directed sharp criticism toward the Samajwadi Party and its chief Akhilesh Yadav, stating that the people of the state will never give them another opportunity to rule. In a sarcastic jibe, he remarked that the Samajwadi Party will not return to power in Uttar Pradesh until the year 2047, while asserting that the Bharatiya Janata Party is here to stay. According to him, elements associated with crime and mafia networks have found shelter within the opposition party's ranks.
Highlighting the electoral strength of his party, Maurya reaffirmed the familiar support base equation. He stated that whether it is Asaduddin Owaisi's front or Akhilesh Yadav's camp, all opposition factions stand against the ruling party, but their presence will have no impact on the final outcome. Reitrating his stance, he claimed that sixty out of every hundred voters support the party, while the remaining forty percent is divided among others, with a share of that split also favoring the ruling camp.
Accusations against Rahul Gandhi for acting on foreign cues
The Deputy Chief Minister also targeted the Congress party and its prominent leader Rahul Gandhi over allegations concerning phone tapping directed at Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Questioning the credibility of statements made by Congress leaders, Maurya urged them to first establish internal consensus within their own party. Citing remarks made by Sam Pitroda, he demanded that the Congress leadership must answer for the unverified allegations raised by Rahul Gandhi.
Maurya accused Rahul Gandhi of issuing statements at the behest of foreign powers and attempting to destabilize the national atmosphere by instigating manufactured agitations. He asserted that the political conspiracies hatched by the Congress and the Samajwadi Party will meet with complete failure both across the country and within the borders of Uttar Pradesh.
