Frustrated over crushing poll defeat in UP, Akhilesh was issuing cheap statement: Rupani

Gandhinagar: Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani today termed the statement of ex-CM of UP Akhilesh Yadav about the martyrdom of Gujarati soldiers on borders, an expression of frustration.

Talking to newsmen Rupani said that the statement of Yadav was a cheap one.

‘After the crushing defeat in the UP assembly polls, Akhilesh is in heavy frustration and that is why he was giving such cheap political statements,’ he said.

‘It was a cheap political statement,’ he reiterated.

Notably, Akhilesh while talking to media had questioned that why no Gujarati was martyred on borders.

Do @OfficeOfRG & the Gujarat Congress endorse the anti-Gujarat mindset of their valued ally? https://t.co/OWoDE5uKWi
