In a scathing attack on the Congress, Yadav accused Congress of double-speak and acting as the “B-team of the BJP”. He stressed that Congress doesn’t want to ally with the Samajwadi Party and is also speaking against another I.N.D.I.A. alliance partner AAP. Afterward, he asserted that Congress would get a befitting reply from the PDA.
