The Uttar Pradesh SP chief allged the BJP was a cunning and communal party which would divide the country.
Only the SP could give a secular government and there would be no government at the Centre without the Samajwadi Party, Akhilesh said.
No one had as much experience as Mulayam Singh Yadav and only the SP could provide a secular government, he said.
"Why BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi was mum on the US despite not getting a visa while he always slams neighbouringing countries?" he asked.
