He claimed that the BJP has spoken “lies” on all issues is on its way out.

Abki Baar 400 Haar: Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday mocked the BJP’s election slogan of “400-paar” as he said that the people of the country have given the slogan “400-haar (lose 400)” and claimed that the party (BJP) which has spoken “lies” on all issues is on its way out.

“Where the BJP is giving the slogan of ‘400-paar’, the people of the country are giving the slogan of ‘400-haar’. They have not kept the promises made to the people like the one made to the farmers and the poor. This government is on its way out as it speaks lies on every issue. The PDA family is going to defeat it,” said the SP chief while talking to the media in Lucknow.

“Inflation is at its height, the promises made to the farmers of doubling their income and also to the poor, all have been betrayed and they will not forget it. Youth will never forget the BJP for snatching their growth and future by bringing a scheme like “Agniveer”. They do not want to give jobs and so purposely leaked examination papers,” Yadav alleged.

The former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister lashed out at the BJP government in the state over the double murder in Budaun where two minor boys were killed adding that the lives of two brothers had been lost and that the lives could have been saved had the police worked properly.

“They can’t hide their shortcomings, this encounter is not going to hide their failure,” Yadav said, referring to the encounter of one of the accused soon after the killing of the two young boys in Budaun.

Pointing to some of the recent incidents, Yadav said that the government had to act later and remove officials.

“The administration was lax as this government wants to take political benefit out of every incident. When their ministers, MLAs, and entire departments are involved in doing other works, then how are they going to pull up the arrangements to improve the situation?” he asked.

Referring to the electoral bonds he termed them as “not a donation but an extortion”.

When enquired about the Congress candidates for the coming polls, he said it is an internal matter of that party and stressed that his party will honestly support the candidates fielded by the Congress.

The Samajwadi Party has given 17 seats to the Congress and decided to contest the remaining 63 seats on its own and with some other allies.

The Samajwadi Party will release the list of its remaining candidates soon, said Yadav.
