The Gorakhpur MP also blamed candidate selection and the party’s strategy in the state for the BJP's failure in the by-polls. ‘Party’s UP campaign strategy was flawed,’ Yogi Adityanath said.
The Samajwadi Party (SP) has managed to make huge inroads into a state that had been hit by riots in Muzaffarnagar last year. Despite aggressive campaigning, the BJP could only bag two of the nine seats in UP.
An FIR had earlier been been registered against Yogi Adityanath in Gautam Buddh Nagar for making alleged inflammatory speech and spreading communal hatred during campaigning for the byelections.
The Election Commission of India also reprimanded Yogi Adityanath for ‘provoking feelings of enmity’ during a recent speech in Noida and asked the state poll officials to ensure filing of an FIR against him. The commission also cautioned the BJP leader to be careful in his future public utterances.
