down well with him.
Thakur said, “Akhilesh is now blaming digital campaigns as he used to blame the EVMs earlier. If he knows how to operate the laptop then why is he running away from digital campaigns? Why is there a fear of defeat?”
Referring to Akhilesh’s viral picture of Itra traders he questioned, “Who is the friend of Itra trader. When searches were conducted at Itra trader he sided with him and not with the Income Tax deptt.”
“We are saying it openly that the action being taken against the rioters and mafias in UP will continue after March when we will form the government,” he said.
