Those who flayed Samajwadi Party’s pink cap themselves wore one, Akhilesh Yadav’s jibe at BJP leaders

KANNAUJ: Former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday took a dig at BJP leaders for carrying caps at an occasion, recalling how they used to earlier touch upon the headgear worn by his celebration members.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP leaders had been seen carrying saffron caps on the celebration’s basis day programme on Wednesday.

The pink cap worn by members of the Akhilesh Yadav-led Samajwadi Party had come below extreme criticism through the not too long ago held Assembly polls, with PM Narendra Modi equating it with “red alert”.

In a swipe on the Samajwadi Party, Modi had alleged that these carrying pink caps “want power to commit scams, fill their coffers, indulge in illegal grabbing (of resources) and to give complete freedom to the mafia”.

“Those who used to say all sorts of things about red caps of the Samajwadi Party are today sitting with caps on,” Yadav informed reporters right here after photos emerged with BJP leaders and PM Modi carrying caps at their celebration’s forty second basis day.
