Akhilesh questions UP CM's 1.27 crore vote claim

Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav has criticized the BJP for electoral injustice and questioned their claim of missing 1.27 crore votes in Uttar Pradesh. This issue came to light only after the Samajwadi Party lost the MLC election. Speaking at Ramlila Maidan ahead of the INDIA bloc's 'Chalo Delhi' rally, Yadav stated that the limits of injustice have been reached, and the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh himself admitted to the reduction of 1.27 crore votes.

He questioned why the Chief Minister only brought up this issue after his party's electoral defeat. Yadav also accused the BJP of refusing to accept defeat in the MLC election and seeking a recount from the Election Commission. The leader demanded to know who provided the data on the alleged decrease in voter numbers and accused the BJP of making claims about missing 1.27 crore Hindu votes from the electoral rolls.

He pointed out that a minister making such a statement in Uttar Pradesh, the state where the Prime Minister hails from, is being accused of injustice.
