Akhilesh Seeks ‘72-Year’ Ban on Modi for ‘Shameful’ Speech in West Bengal

Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Tuesday assaulted Prime Minister Narendra Modi for asserting that 40 Trinamool Congress MLAs were in contact with him. He said Mr. Modi ought to be "restricted for a long time" for his "dishonorable" discourse.

The Election Commission of India (ECI) as of late banned a few heads, including Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Punjab Minister Navjot Singh Sidhu from crusading for 72 hours because of Model Code of Conduct (MCC) infringement.

"Vikas (improvement) is inquiring... Did you hear the disgraceful discourse of Pradhanji (PM)? Subsequent to losing the confidence of 125 crore comrades, he (Modi) is presently depending on the untrustworthy affirmation of absconding supposedly given by the 40 MLAs," he tweeted.

"This mirrors his (Modi) dark cash mindset. He ought to be restricted for not 72 hours but rather for a long time," he said.

On the battlefield in West Bengal on Monday, Mr. Modi stated, "Didi, even your MLAs will leave you when the aftereffects of this race are out. Your 40 MLAs are in contact with me and all your MLAs will betray you once the BJP wins the race. Political ground has slipped from under your feet."

"With only a bunch of seats, 'Didi' you can't achieve Delhi. Delhi is far away. Going to Delhi is only a reason. Her genuine aim is to politically set up her nephew," he had said.

The Trinamool initiative rushed to hit back, blaming the Prime Minister for pony exchanging and saying it would grumble to the ECI about it.
