In Aligarh, while speaking to India Today, Akhilesh Yadav said the BJP’s lack of education and manners is reflected in their words and speeches.
Taking a jibe at the BJP, the former Uttar Pradesh chief minister said that only the public will teach the BJP where to put the lock.
Akhilesh Yadav said, “The BJP loves to instill animosity, vandalism, and bad language among the people, whereas the Samajwadi Party always preaches brotherhood and communal peace and works to bring people together.”
Akhilesh Yadav told India Today that people who have received education from Aligarh are bringing laurels to India not only in the country but also abroad, but the central and state governments are neglecting Agra and Aligarh districts and depriving them of facilities.
