Samajwadi Party MLA Atul Pradhan said, "The government that is in power at this time seems as if there is no government in Uttar Pradesh, everyone is working as per their own will... People are realizing that the coming time belongs to the Samajwadi Party and the officials must also be thinking that people have given such a big majority, such a big mandate, so in the coming time Samajwadi Party government will be formed in Uttar Pradesh under the leadership of Akhilesh Yadav..."
