Hardoi, Uttar Pradesh: Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya has once again targeted Akhilesh Yadav, the leader of the Samajwadi Party, labeling him as the "leader of all the goons, criminals, and mafia." Speaking at an event, Maurya emphasized, "I have said this earlier and again I am saying that Akhilesh Yadav is the leader of all the goons, criminals, mafia, land mafia, liquor mafia, copy mafia, recruitment mafia."

Maurya criticized Yadav’s recent comments about the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), suggesting that the former chief minister has forgotten the history of his party's governance. “When he says something about the BJP, it seems that he does not remember his history or the time when his party ruled. He does not remember the conduct of his party,” Maurya stated, implying that the Samajwadi Party had a history of criminality and misgovernance.

The Deputy Chief Minister asserted that wherever crime occurs and criminals are apprehended, there is often a connection to the Samajwadi Party. "Wherever crime takes place, wherever criminals are caught, some leader of the Samajwadi Party is behind it," he claimed, reinforcing his allegations against Yadav and his party.

Maurya's remarks reflect the ongoing political tensions in Uttar Pradesh as the BJP continues to challenge the credibility of the opposition party ahead of upcoming elections. The accusations add to the charged political atmosphere, with both parties vying for public support.
