What Did Akhilesh Say?
On Jaunpur's incident, Akhilesh Yadav wrote on 'X': "Today's government and crime share a paradoxical relationship. On one side, they walk hand in hand; on the other, as the government becomes weaker and more inactive, the criminals grow stronger and more active. UP demands no BJP in tomorrow's scene."
