Addressing a public meeting in Raebareli, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav alleged that the Election Commission assisted in vote theft during the 2022 Uttar Pradesh assembly elections. He said the SP would have formed the government without these irregularities and stressed the need for an alliance in the 2027 polls.
Akhilesh Yadav spoke at a gathering in Raebareli where he accused the Election Commission of facilitating vote theft in the 2022 Uttar Pradesh assembly elections. He claimed that, without these alleged irregularities, the Samajwadi Party would have secured enough seats to form the government in the state.
He further stated that the party’s performance would have been stronger if the electoral process had been fair, and reiterated that the SP’s defeat was due to external manipulation rather than voter preference.
Yadav emphasized that for the upcoming 2027 Uttar Pradesh elections, forming an alliance based on winnability is essential. He criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party for pursuing communal politics and urged opposition parties to unite against what he described as divisive tactics.
If voted to power, Yadav promised to introduce various reforms aimed at improving governance and restoring public trust in institutions, though he did not detail specific measures in his speech.
