Akhilesh asked why a second survey?

At the same time, after the uproar over the survey increased, Akhilesh Yadav has attacked the Yogi government regarding this. Raising questions on this, he said, 'When the survey was already done, why was it done again, that too early in the morning, no one is going to listen to the other side. This has been done so that they (BJP) can decide what to discuss other than the elections.

The former CM said, 'What has happened in Sambhal has been done by the BJP and the administration together so that there is no discussion on the dishonesty of the elections.  The true victory comes from the people, not the system. Here people are not being allowed to vote, and the system is being pushed forward.
