The SP chief was in Prayagraj to attend a marriage ceremony. "They used to talk about doubling the income of farmers, but the income was not doubled... the benefits of the farmers were taken away. Similarly, youngsters are sitting on a dharna in Prayagraj against the paper leak in the RO, ARO examination. What kind of government is this in which every (exam) paper is leaked," he asked.
"It is not the papers that are being leaked... BJP's votes are being leaked. Sixty lakh candidates will have to take the exam again. If there are three members in a student's family, this comes to 1.8 crore voters. If we divide these by 80 Lok Sabha seats, then 2,25,000 votes of the BJP have been leaked in every Lok Sabha constituency," Yadav said. ‘All Is Well That Ends Well’: Samajwadi Paty Chief Akhilesh Yadav on His Absence at Congress’ Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in Uttar Pradesh (Watch Video).
