Lapping up Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav's comments that party's Chief Ministerial candidate will be decided by newly-elected legislators, BJP national secretary Shrikant Sharma said this proves that he has no "faith left" in his son and that he "cheated" the public during last polls after they elected his government with hopes of change.
"Mulayam Singh Yadav's remarks are an indication that Samajwadi Party's ship is sinking and one that recognises Akhilesh Yadav's incompetence, as he has failed on all fronts and thus lost the confidence of the people of the state.
Sharma said Mulayam's assertion is a clear indication of the fact that he has himself "rejected" the government led by Akhilesh Yadav, which the people of the state have already rejected.
He claimed that the remarks hold no significance as the people will not elect Samajwadi Party legislators anymore and the question of electing a chief minister would not arise.
Sharma said Uttar Pradesh has suffered badly in the last many years after they tried Congress, BSP and SP, all of whom failed them in resolving their problems.
"Resultantly the state suffered immensely and situation turned from bad to worse. The benefits of central schemes are not reaching the masses and public is very angry," he said.
