SP chief Akhilesh Yadav on Friday accused the BJP of administrative scams in the Lok Sabha elections on some seats in UP and announced to honour the defeated candidates of the INDIA bloc with the title of ‘sammansad’.
Reacting to the parliamentary election results, Yadav, in a post in Hindi on X, said, “We believe that all our candidates who could not win due to the BJP-administrative scams are actually winners.”
“The basis of whatever votes the BJP has received is not the votes of the people, but their administrative system and their scams.”
He said the people in the Lok Sabha constituencies have given their full support and respect to the candidates of the INDIA bloc. That is why all such fighting candidates are being considered as true representatives of the people, he said.
Yadav said the SP is considering such defeated INDIA bloc candidates equal to any other MP.
“Respecting the respect given to them by the people in the form of votes, from today we will honour them with the public title of ‘sammansad’,” he said.
