Akhilesh Yadav challenges Yogi Adityanath to contest assembly polls from Ayodhya

  • Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav challenged Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to contest next year's election from Ayodhya during a Bhagwat Katha recitation organized by former MLA Pawan Pandey.
  • While Congress and other INDIA Bloc allies continued their protest in Delhi demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation, Yadav skipped day 3 to target the Election Commission and the ruling BJP.
  • Criticizing the ruling party's record, Yadav claimed the BJP committed injustice against Ayodhya residents by demolishing shops and houses without respect, asserting an SP government would not discriminate against residents or demolish their properties.
  • Addressing the gathering, Yadav urged voters to choose between a "government that increases hatred" or "brotherhood taught by Krishna," framing the PDA coalition as strategy against the BJP-led NDA.
  • Challenging the ruling party's confidence, Yadav claimed the BJP has failed to find a new candidate for Ayodhya, arguing that power should be won through "love and the people's mandate" rather than deceit, invoking Lord Krishna's example.
