Former Uttar Pradesh chief minister and Samajwadi Party leader has once again lashed out at the Bharatiya Janata Party at the Centre and in the state, accusing the ruling party of diverting public attention on chai and pakoda.

BJP governments in the Centre and state do not want discussion on development issues but it is diverting public attention on Chai and Pakoda, said the Samajwadi Party leader in view of byelections in Gorakhpur, scheduled to be held on March 11.

He further said, (I) appeal to the public of Gorakhpur to give a message to the nation in the upcoming Lok Sabha byelection.

The bypoll in Gorakhpur was necessitated as its Lok Sabha representative Yogi Adityanath was elected to the state assembly after becoming the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh.
