Akhilesh's dream of coming to power will not be fulfilled: Keshav Maurya

Basti (UP), Sep 12 (UNI) Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya today slammed Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav, saying the latter's dream of coming to power in the state will not be fulfilled at least till 2047.
Talking to reporters here, the Deputy CM said that when SP president Akhilesh Yadav was in power, he did not remember PDA (Pichda, Dalit, Alpsanhkyak) and now he is remembering PDA. The public has completely understood him. Akhilesh will remain out of power till 2047. The SP government was dominated by goons and criminals but since the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government has been formed in UP, the state is becoming crime free," he said.
He said that under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the state is continuously moving towards rapid development. "Today, when action is being taken against SP's goons and mafias, Akhilesh has become disturbed. He can never be a well-wisher of PDA, he is against PDA," he said.
