Reacting to the Yadav's tweet, Uttar Pradesh BJP's media coordinator Naveen Srivastava told PTI ,"Budget, money, tender, all these things are important for rich-corrupt like Akhilesh Yadav, not for ‘karmayogi' like Keshav Prasad Maurya."

Recently, Akhilesh Yadav had said Maurya should take a lesson from political developments in Bihar. If he comes with his 100 MLAs to him, he will be made the chief minister, Yadav had said.

On this invitation, Maurya retorted and said more than 100 MLAs of the SP are in touch with the BJP.

Meanwhile, a Samajwadi Party statement said Yadav urged people to be "ready to oust the anti-people BJP government in 2024".

Addressing people who came to the SP headquarters on Saturday, Yadav said, "The BJP government is not in a position to change anything. The BJP government is working only for the interests of big industrialists".

Nationwide discontent is growing against the government, the public has now made a firm resolve to teach a lesson to the BJP, he claimed.
