‘If we lose, we will postpone it…’ Why was the by-election date changed? Akhilesh Yadav told the reason while targeting BJP

The date of by-elections in many states including 9 assembly seats of Uttar Pradesh has been changed. This change has been made by the Election Commission. Now voting will be held on November 20 instead of November 13. Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav has directly targeted the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over the change in the dates of by-elections. 

BJP was never so weak- Akhilesh Yadav

SP MP and party chief Akhilesh Yadav said on the social media platform X, “If we postpone it, we will lose even worse! First, the Milkipur by-election was postponed, now the dates for the by-elections of the rest of the seats have been postponed. BJP was never this weak.” 

BJP’s old trick, if they lose they will postpone it – Akhilesh Yadav

Along with this, Akhilesh said that the fact is that in Uttar Pradesh, ‘People who go to the whole country for work due to great unemployment have come to Uttar Pradesh on Diwali and Chhath holidays. They were going to vote to defeat BJP in the by-elections. As soon as the BJP got a hint of this, it postponed the by-elections. This will end people’s holidays and they will go back without casting their votes.’ Akhilesh once again targeted and said, ‘This is an old trick of BJP, if they lose, they will postpone it.’

Now the by-election voting will be held on November 20

Let us tell you that the Election Commission had announced the voting for the by-elections of all the states including UP on November 13, but after the request of political parties, the Election Commission has now rescheduled the dates and announced voting on November 20. Along with Uttar Pradesh, the voting dates have also been changed in Punjab and Kerala.
