The BJP’s remarks come after Akhilesh Yadav questioned the ruling party’s ‘Viksit Bharat 2047’ initiative in also an apparent dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision. “The BJP is talking about 2047. They don't even read their own manifesto...Why 2047? Should they add another 100 years? Will you survive till 2047,” the SP chief said.

UP deputy CM Brajesh Pathak hit back at Yadav for his remarks on ‘Viksit Bharat 2047’ by calling his Samajwadi Party “misguided”.
He told ANI, “Akhilesh Yadav and the Samajwadi Party are completely misguided. Every Indian is ready to fulfil the pledge of a developed India under the leadership of PM Modi, and this time, the Samajwadi Party is going to be marginalised.”

“It doesn't behove any responsible person to make such statements about the Prime Minister of his country... As for Akhilesh Yadav's statement, his thinking, and his perspective, I pray to God to give him some wisdom. After every election, the Samajwadi Party looks for a conspiracy to win the upcoming election,” he said.
