“We got caught up in overconfidence; will come back stronger”: Keshav Prasad Maurya on Lok Sabha elections

Reflecting on the 2024 Lok Sabha elections in which the INDIA bloc outdid the BJP in Uttar Pradesh, Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya said that they got caught up in the overconfidence, adding that the elections are not won on the strength of the government but it is the party that wins the elections.
Speaking at an event in Lucknow, Maurya said, “BJP is the present and the future. This time (in Lok Sabha elections) we might have missed but next time we will come back stronger. The hard work we should have done, we missed because we got caught up in overconfidence, but I will say that elections are not won on the strength of the government, it is the party that contests the elections and it is the party that wins the elections.”
He further attacked Samajwadi Party Chief Akhilesh Yadav and said that the latter has started his downfall by deceiving the backward classes
“If I do not take the name of Samajwadi Party, something will remain incomplete. Akhilesh Yadav, who has become a pawn of Congress, started his downfall by deceiving the backward classes. Akhilesh Yadav started his downfall by electing Mata Prasad Pandey as the leader of the opposition. He spread such a lie in the Lok Sabha elections that the Constitution will be abolished. The power that Baba Saheb has given to the backward Dalits, we are the people who will increase it, not the ones to end it,” Maurya said.
“The Congress party, which dances on the tunes of foreign powers, gets Akhilesh Yadav to say whatever it wants. He is misleading our people by telling lies. Can Rahul Gandhi, who is a sympathiser of the poor, be compared to Modiji, who makes the life of the poor happy?” he added.
On July 26, Akhilesh Yadav called Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya a “Mohra,” after which Keshav Prasad Maurya hit back by calling SP chief the “Mohra” of the Congress party and suggested that he should save SP from “extinction.”
“They (BJP) have spoiled every system. Every system and every department has been ruined…I heard that (Keshav Prasad) Maurya ji is ‘Mohra’. He is the password of Delhi’s WiFi. Tell me, will the government run like this? UP will not run like this. They have cheated the people of UP,” the SP chief said, addressing a press conference
