समाजवादी Party (SP) national president Akhilesh Yadav has issued a significant statement regarding the defeat of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD)-led Mahagathbandhan in the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections. Yadav stated, “There’s no India called Bihar. We are fully prepared in Uttar Pradesh.”
Patna: Following the defeat of the RJD-led Mahagathbandhan in the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections, Samajwadi Party (SP) national president Akhilesh Yadav has offered a detailed analysis. He indicated that he didn’t perceive the Mahagathbandhan’s decline during the election campaign. He believes that had the situation unfolded as initially anticipated, Tejashwi Yadav would have become the Chief Minister.
Akhilesh Yadav’s Analysis of the Bihar Election
During an interview, Akhilesh Yadav explained that he personally engaged in campaigning across Bihar, actively communicating with the public. However, the election results revealed that the BJP’s strategy and narrative had swayed public opinion against the Mahagathbandhan. He also alleged instances of irregularities with Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs), asserting that a thorough review would be necessary to address them.
The SP leader further pointed out the impact of the ₹10,000 distribution scheme during the Bihar election, noting that the current Bihar government has discontinued this financial incentive, which he believes contributed to the election outcome.
Prashant Kishor and Electoral Strategy
Speaking about Prashant Kishor and his strategy, Akhilesh Yadav acknowledged that despite his efforts, the Mahagathbandhan suffered a defeat. He attributed this to the BJP’s strategic use of media and catchy tunes to construct a dominant narrative, effectively shaping public perception. Yadav remarked, “Even if you commission a song using AI, the BJP will create a narrative around it.”
He emphasized that the election dynamics in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar are distinct. SP is fully prepared for the upcoming elections in Uttar Pradesh and is unlikely to be ensnared in the narrative crafted by the BJP.
Comments on Religious Sites
Akhilesh Yadav stated that the Samajwadi Party in Uttar Pradesh is proceeding with careful preparation for the elections. He affirmed that the party will not fall into the BJP’s propaganda and narrative traps. Due to a b ground-level organizational structure and a robust strategy, SP anticipates a favorable position in the Uttar Pradesh election. Yadav also shared his views on the Kedareswar Temple and Ram Temple.
He clarified that the timing of visiting the Ram Temple is contingent upon divine will. Regarding the ongoing construction of the Kedareswar Temple in इटावा, he indicated that it is expected to be completed by the month of Shravan.
