No one can stop the BJP from losing bypolls, says Akhilesh, amid allegations of Muslim-Yadav officials being shunted out

The Hindu  

Objecting to the Uttar Pradesh administration’s alleged transfer of Muslim and Yadav officials out of districts heading for Assembly bypolls, the Opposition parties on Wednesday asked the Election Commission to take “suo motu cognizance” of the move. Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav, however, expressed confidence that the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party would lose all ten of the high-stakes bypolls in the State despite such alleged machinations. The Election Commission should take suo motu cognizance,” he posted, along with a video report claiming that most officials hailing from the Muslim and Yadav communities have been removed from field postings in bypoll-bound districts. After the BJP’s Lok Sabha debacle in the State, it is believed that the party’s internal post-mortem pointed fingers at some officials hailing from Muslim and Yadav groups, accusing them of disturbing the party’s prospects in many seats.
