"Situation within the BJP is going to get worse," says UP Congress president Ajay Rai

Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], July 18 : Reacting to Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav's announcement of a monsoon offer on Thursday, where he asked dissidents to bring a hundred MLAs and form the government in Uttar Pradesh, state Congress President Ajay Rai said that in the future, the situation in the Bharatiya Janata Party will get even worse.
"Certainly the BJP is ending completely, and in the coming time, the situation within the BJP is going to get worse because many groups have been formed in their party. Someone is giving a statement in favour of Keshav Maurya, someone is giving a statement in favour of Yogi ji. Many mutual differences are coming to the fore, so in view of this, Akhilesh ji has taken this decision, and I believe that he will stand by this decision," said Rai.
"Modi ji lagged behind in four rounds in Banaras, and his vote percentage decreased. This has put a strain on the forehead of the Bharatiya Janata Party because their biggest leader fell behind. It proved that there is no coordination between the government and the organisation, and many things are going wrong," he added.
Meanwhile, Yadav took to X, announcing the offer, saying, "Monsoon Offer: Bring a hundred, form the government!"
On Wednesday, Deputy CM KP Maurya caused a flutter with a post on X from his office that quoted Maurya as saying, "The organisation is bigger than the government; the pain of the workers is my pain. No one is bigger than the organisation; the workers are the pride."
"In the heat of the BJP's fight for power, governance and administration in UP have been put on the back burner. The work of sabotage politics that the BJP used to do in other parties is now being done inside its party. That is why the BJP is sinking into a quagmire of internal conflicts. No one in the BJP thinks about the public," Yadav posted on X.
Maurya took a jibe at the Samajwadi Party chief on Wednesday and said that the BJP is strong at both state and national levels and is going to be victorious in the assembly polls in 2027, as it was in 2017.
"SP Bahadur Shri Akhilesh Yadav ji, the BJP has a strong organisation and government both at the national and state levels; the SP's PDA is a fraud. The return of SP's hooliganism in UP is impossible; the BJP will repeat 2017 in the 2027 assembly elections," said Maurya in a post on X on Wednesday.
The BJP and its allies have 283 seats in the 403-member assembly while the SP lead INDIA bloc has 107 seats.
