Akhilesh Yadav inflated like balloon over 2024 success: KP Maurya

Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya on Saturday slammed Akhilesh Yadav for his remarks critical of him, and said the SP chief has got “inflated like a balloon” post his “success” in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.

Amid speculation of a rift within the Uttar Pradesh BJP after the party’s poor showing in the LS polls compared with the 2014 and the 2019 elections, Yadav has taken jibes at the BJP leader, calling him a “pawn” and a password to “Delhi’s Wi-Fi”.

In a social media post on Saturday, Maurya called Yadav a Congress “pawn” and asked him to be mindful of his party’s defeats in the state in assembly and Lok Sabha polls.
