Regarding the postponement of the by-election to the Mirkipur seat in Ayodhya, SP president Akhilesh Yadav said that the BJP failed in the internal inquiry and that was the reason why the election to the Mirkipur seat was postponed. Targeting the BJP, the Samajwadi Party chief said those who had already lost before entering the war were moving around the courts to save their reputations.
Akhilesh Yadav said the BJP conducted an internal inquiry in Mirkipur, Ayodhya, but the party faced failure in the inquiry. Therefore, he first cleared all the backward and untouchable BLOs and then conducted an internal investigation. Akhilesh further said, “The chief minister personally called government people, questioned them, took intelligence reports. When he came to know that despite playing so many games, they lost the election, he postponed the election.”
Akhilesh Yadav said if these people fail to withdraw the petition from the court within two days, there will be no elections in Mirkipur this time. We also appeal to the court to withdraw the writ within two days, he further said.
