The leader of the Samajwadi Party, Akhilesh Yadav, stated on Sunday that the bigger issue confronting the nation is whether democracy will endure.
“The main concern is whether democracy will endure. “BJP is an organization, not a party,” he declared. Akhilesh applauded the Congress’ “Sanklap Satyagraha” in opposition to Rahul Gandhi’s exclusion from the Lok Sabha.
The Congress is holding the Sankalp Satyagraha at Raj Ghat. Priyanka Gandhi arrived at Raj Ghat for the protest on Sunday. Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, party general secretary KC Venugopal, and several other party leaders also joined the protest.
The SP chief, however, reminded everyone that what happened with Rahul Gandhi had also happened with Azam Khan and his son.
Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan was disqualified from the Uttar Pradesh Assembly in October 2022 after being sentenced to three years in jail in a hate speech case.
He was elected MLA from the Rampur Sadar constituency, which the BJP wrested in the byelection last year.
