Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday said the ongoing Lok Sabha election was between people who wanted to change the Constitution and those protecting it. Yadav took part in a rally in here in support of Tanuj Punia, the INDIA bloc candidate who is contesting from Barabanki Lok Sabha constituency on a Congress. On one side are the people who want to change the Constitution and on the other side are the people of INDIA bloc, SP and Congress who want to protect it. The election here has turned out to be between people of Barabanki and false guarantees, Yadav said while addressing the rally.  The public has taken matters into their own hands and are not going to spare those who talk about running a double-engine government, Yadav added. While attacking the Bharatiya Janata Party-led Central government for inflation and three anti-farmers farm laws, the SP chief said, These people brought farm laws to snatch the lands of the poor farmers and give it to the big industrialists. Yadav said that after coming to power the INDIA bloc government would ensure guaranteed minimum support price for the crops produced by farmers. Talking about youth, Akhilesh Yadav said that the BJP had also cheated them by not providing jobs or by stopping paper leaks of recruitment exams. He said that if BJP came to power again, the jobs of police personnel would be made temporary. Uttar Pradeshs former chief minister, Akhilesh Yadav, said that the INDIA bloc government would improve the quality of free ration being given to the poor. He also attacked the Bahujan Samaj Party, alleging that it has joined hands with the BJP. I want to say to our people of bahujan samaj that you must have seen that BSP and BJP have joined hands in hiding. So, beware of them and vote for the INDIA bloc candidate to ensure his victory, he said. Tanuj Punia is pitted against Rajrani Rawat of the BJP. Polling in Barabanki will be held on May 20 in the fifth phase of ongoing Lok Sabha elections.
