Akhilesh Yadav Lauds Mamata's Courage in Battling BJP's Expansive Influence

Samajwadi Party's Akhilesh Yadav praised West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee for her effective opposition to the BJP, claiming she is countering the BJP better than anyone else in India. He criticized the BJP-EC collaboration in the SIR exercise, pledging support to Banerjee's ongoing efforts.

In an assertive statement this Tuesday, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav hailed Mamata Banerjee as India's robust opposition force against the BJP's political stronghold. Yadav highlighted that while others have faltered, Banerjee stands resilient in defending democracy.

A meeting at the state secretariat, Nabanna, between Yadav and Banerjee saw high praises for her courage amid election tensions and the contentious SIR exercise, which Yadav claims is a BJP ploy in concert with the Election Commission to destabilize secular India's voting landscape.

Yadav asserted that such strategies were geared towards engineering defeat. He solidified support for Banerjee's agenda in West Bengal, lauding her past triumphs against oppositional forces like the Enforcement Directorate and affirming his party's backing in her campaigns.
