Akhilesh Yadav, chief of Samajwadi Party, and Jayant Chaudhary of Rashtriya Lok Dal announced their alliance for Uttar Pradesh elections 2022 at a joint rally titled ‘Parivartan Sandesh’ in Meerut district on Tuesday, December 7 in the Dabathua area.
Akhilesh Yadav alleged BJP of the unfulfilled promises and politics of polarization. This comes after Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a rally after the inauguration of development projects in the Gorakhpur region of eastern UP.
“’Red Alert’ for BJP is of inflation; of unemployment-unemployment; of the plight of the farmer-laborer; Hathras, Lakhimpur, women and youth oppression; Wasted education, business, and health, and ‘Lal Topi’ because it will throw BJP out of power this time,” Yadav mentioned in his tweet.
भाजपा के लिए ‘रेड एलर्ट’ है महंगाई का; बेरोज़गारी-बेकारी का; किसान-मज़दूर की बदहाली का; हाथरस, लखीमपुर, महिला व युवा उत्पीड़न का; बर्बाद शिक्षा, व्यापार व स्वास्थ्य का और ‘लाल टोपी’ का क्योंकि वो ही इस बार भाजपा को सत्ता से बाहर करेगी।
लाल का इंक़लाब होगा

Yadav’s tweet referred to a comment by Modi where he said that ‘those wearing lal topi (red caps) cared only about lal batti (red beacons) when they were in power, in an apparent jibe at the Samajwadi Party (SP), the erstwhile ruling party of the state.’ Red-caps are common among the leaders of the Samajwadi Party and act as identification to their socialist ideology.
