Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav’s ally Jayant Chaudhary taunted the BJP today as Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s first physical rally in Bijnor, Uttar Pradesh, was cancelled on account of bad weather and he addressed a virtual rally instead. Mr Chaudhary, who has a substantial support base among the Jats and farmers in western Uttar Pradesh, said the BJP is just not ready to face the people after failing to keep their promises.
“The BJP had earlier promised better electricity and development in Bijnor. If the Prime Minister had visited them today, the people would have asked questions. So suddenly BJP’s weather turned bad,” he said, holding up his phone — open at a weather app — at a rally in Meerut Cantonment.
