He alleged that as the government did nothing for development, to increase income of farmers, it has “no face to go before the people” which was seen in the language used by the BJP leaders in elections.In an obvious reference to Ansari’s death, raising suspicion on the government, Yadav asked, “Kya sarkar ghatnayein kara rahi hai laabh lene ke liye? (Are incidents taking place at the government’s behest for political gains?””There were not one or two… but 9–10 paper leaks in the state. What the government has to say about it, unemployment, the Agniveer scheme?” he said and claimed that if the BJP came to power again, such schemes will be introduced in the police force also.Hailing the “contribution” of Ansari’s family, Yadav claimed that due to the work done for the poor, he won elections from jail and his grandfather and maternal grandfather were freedom fighters—the face that the government wanted to hide. “The image shown is not the real image that he (Mukhtar) carried on the ground,” he said.Mukhtar Ansari’s son Umar Ansari said that Yadav had come to console his family and he was like a guardian.The Samajwadi Party has given ticket to Mukhtar’s brother Afzal Ansari from Ghazipur. In the 2019 election, Afzal won from the seat on BSP ticket defeating BJP’s Manoj Sinha.
