BJP's UP Lok Sabha slide shows public mood: Akhilesh

Bengaluru, Nov 16 (UNI) Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday said that the most significant political shift in recent years has been the BJP's underperformance in the Lok Sabha elections in Uttar Pradesh, especially in regions long considered its core base.
He said this result reflects the growing strength of the Samajwadi Party and the public's desire for an inclusive and issue-based political alternative.
Akhilesh said the SP had delivered its "best performance so far (in Lok Sabha election)," particularly in constituencies where the BJP had maintained dominance for years. He said the outcome showed that voters were willing to move beyond divisive narratives and support parties that prioritise development, jobs and social harmony.
