UP CM's reply to Beni: Cong-BSP will perform badly

March 30, 2013 19:28

CNN-IBN reports: Responding to the salvo fired by Congress leader and Union Steel Minister Beni Prasad Verma that the Samajwadi Party would win just four seats in the 2014 polls, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav has said that people will see the reality of the Congress-Bahujan Samaj Party relationship.

Going one step further he added that, it wouldn't be the SP, but the BSP, that would win just four seats in the general elections.

Akhilesh Yadav said, "People will see the reality of Congress-BSP relationship. Parties that did poorly in assembly polls will get four seats in 2014 elections." The war between Beni and Akhilesh broke out when the Congress leader said that the SP will win only four seats in the 2014 Lok sabha elections. He added, "SP never wants the Congress to flourish in Uttar Pradesh."
