His father changed parties many times. Whose ally were they when he won for the first time?"
"Didn't know he has weak knowledge of history. Children should be forgiven," Pradhan added.
Earlier, BJP leader Amit Shah commented on their alliance and said Yesterday Akhilesh ji and Jayant ji held a press conference. They say that we are together. But how long is this together? If its government is formed, then Jayant ji will leave the government and Azam Khan will come back."
