The Samajwadi Party stalwart and Ex-Chief Minister of the state, Akhilesh Yadav, has slammed sharply to the widespread violence and ruckus during the nomination filing for the upcoming blockhead elections in Uttar Pradesh on Thursday. Yadav slammed the ruling BJP for violence and allegedly stopping Samajwadi Party candidates from filing their nominations.

Taking to Twitter handle, Yadav shared a clipping of a news article detailing incidents of violence during filing nomination filing for block president polls in various parts of the state, that said, "Yogi government failed on all fronts" to control violence (Charon Khane Chitt Yogi Shashan).

Addressing to media people on the issue on Friday, Yadav said, “The goons of BJP who claimed to be a disciplined party tarnished the dignity of the woman. We are sad that the people of BJP have come down to this level to win the elections." He condemned the BJP for “giving a free hand to its goons for open hooliganism in every block of the entire state,” in order to win the election. He also said that his party is identifying those officers who have got all this done. “We will take action against them when the time comes. The list of officers working as BJP workers is ready,” said Akhilesh.
