BJP MP Sakshi Maharaj claims Akhilesh Yadav may join NDA, sparking political buzz in Uttar Pradesh.
UP Politics: Uttar Pradesh's political landscape is abuzz with speculation. A statement by BJP MP Sakshi Maharaj has fueled rumors of a rift within the opposition INDIA alliance. He claims that Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav may soon join the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Sakshi Maharaj's Bold Claim
The MP from Unnao stated in a press conference, "Akhilesh Yadav and his family will join the BJP whenever I want them to."
This statement came in response to a recent quip by Akhilesh Yadav, who jokingly remarked, "Sakshi Maharaj will join the SP whenever we want him to."
'I am the Head of the Yadav Family' - Sakshi Maharaj
Sakshi Maharaj asserted that Akhilesh Yadav's family holds him in high regard and that their familial relationship is deep. He even claimed that if Akhilesh himself doesn't join, his family certainly will join the NDA. He declared himself the "head of the Yadav family," claiming this relationship will impact the political scene.
Will the INDIA Alliance Crumble?
This statement, made before the 2027 assembly elections, has created significant stir in political circles. If Akhilesh Yadav does indeed move closer to the NDA, it would be a major blow to the INDIA alliance. However, no official response has yet been issued by the SP.
