Two SP MLCs resign; Akhilesh accuses BJP of indulging in political corruption from Bihar to UP

Samajwadi Party leader and former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav on Saturday accused Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) of indulging in a political corruption, after two MLCs tendered their resignation.

Bukkal Nawab, who is also a founder of Rashtriya Shia Samaj and Yashwant Singh resigned as MLCs.

Speaking to media, Akhilesh Yadav said, "BJP is indulging in political corruption from Bihar to UP. People are watching everything."

The SP leader also said that he will speak to Bukkal Nawab.

After resigning, singing favourable tune for UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's work Nawab said, "Bharatiya Janata Party is doing good work and PM Modi has given a good slogan of 'Sabka sath, sabka vikas'. If they invite, then I might go with BJP. Yogi is also doing a good job in the state; at least there has not been any scam yet."

"I am feeling very suffocated since last one-year. It is clear that when he (Akhilesh) is not with his own father then how can he be with the people," said Nawab.

He added that it doesn't feel right while writing party's name as Samajwadi Party, rather they should call it 'Samajwadi Akhaada', since it has become an arena now.

Meanwhile, one Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) MLC Jaiveer Singh also gave up his post.
