Did Congress tried to assassinate Mulayam Singh Yadav of Samajwadi Party? In a sensational attack on Congress party after its vice president Rahul Gandhi, SP chief Akhilesh Yadav entered into an alliance, PM Modi said Congress tried to assassinate Mulayam Singh Yadav.
PM Modi only recollected what Mulayam Singh Yadav himself claimed in 1984. Modi addressing a election rally in Chhibramau segment said “After the attempt on Mulayam's life, Charan Singh and Vajpayee had formed Rashtriya Loktantrik Morcha to intensify the anti-Congress movement. But, in a bid to remain in power, Akhilesh has joined hands with the party that tried to kill his father,“
On 4th March, 1984, some persons fired at the Mulayam's car while he was travelling from Etawah to Lucknow. Mulayam accused that top Yadav leader from the Congress party was behind the attack.
Modi said “Akhilesh doesn't realise Congress's cunning; Mulayam knew it well,“. He questioned “Kya rajneeti itni gir gayi hai ki kursi ke moh mein iss prakaar ke kaand kiye jaayein? (Has politics fallen so low that such shenanigans should become the norm)?“
He said “Fed up with Mu layam Singh's attacks when he was leader of the opposition in UP Vidhan Parishad, the Congress got shots fired at him on March 4, 1984, but he escaped. I want to tell Akhilesh that he should have remembered this before sitting in the lap of the Congress.“
