Don't make statements BJP can exploit, Akhilesh tells SP leaders

Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav has cautioned party leaders against making statements that could be weaponised by the BJP. His warning came after SP leader Shivpal Singh Yadav said Azam Khan would become the State's Home Minister if the party comes to power.

Akhilesh emphasised the need for disciplined communication within the party to avoid handing ammunition to political opponents. The remark reflects internal tensions within the SP as it prepares for upcoming electoral battles in Uttar Pradesh.
