BJP's lamp is flickering, will go off soon: Akhilesh

Samajwadi Party Chief Akhilesh Yadav on Monday took a dig at the BJP over the Kanwar Yatra directives in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, saying the ruling party’s lamp is flickering and it will go off soon.

He also attacked the Centre after it lifted the ban on government employees to participate in the activities of the RSS, and asserted that communal politics has been rejected by people of the country.

Talking to the media outside Parliament, the Kannauj MP said more such steps are likely to be taken in future by the Centre and BJP-ruled states.
