The BJP on Monday attacked Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav over don-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari's brother Sibghatulla Ansari becoming a member of his party and stated he seems to be doing the entirety of everything to return back to power in Uttar Pradesh.
Sibghatullah Ansari, a former Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) MLA, joined the Samajwadi Party (SP) along with his supporters on Saturday.
"Akhilesh is following the line 'satta ke liye kuch bhi karega' (will do everything to come to power). What socialism are you talking about by getting the family of don Mukhtar Ansari to join the SP? People are watching everything," the BJP's Uttar Pradesh unit tweeted on its official handle with the hashtag "ShameonAkhilesh".
Soon after becoming a member of Sibghatullah Ansari in former leader minister Yadav's party, the BJP had tweeted, "This is the actual face of the SP. In its choice to seize power withinside the state, Samajwadi Party is prepared to even shake hands with the family of mafia Mukhtar Ansari, however, they need to now no longer neglect who's the chief minister of UP."
