It does the politics of fear and temptation. The BJP is the most corrupt party and soaked in ego. The BJP is making the soil of Uttar Pradesh impure,” he said, adding the need is to remain awaken to save democracy.He stressed that to remove the BJP from power in the 2024 parliamentary polls, Uttar Pradesh will be playing a leading role.They will be removed from the Centre if they are wiped out from Uttar Pradesh, he said.”For this, we will have to strengthen the party organisation up to the booth level and reach out to people with our policies and programmes,” he said.(Except for the headline, this story has not been edited by NDTV staff and is published from a syndicated feed.)
