SP's Akhilesh Yadav slams on BJP, says: "Khadeda Hoibe"

Akhilesh Yadav re-tunes Mamta's slogan to target BJP


New Delhi: Uttar Pradesh is all set to face the coming UP elections. Every party have set with their manifestos. "If it worked in Bengal, it might just work in Uttar Pradesh," thinks Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav by slamming over the BJP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday. 

In a viral 'Khela Hobe' tune that played its part in helping Mamata Banerjee return to power for the third time in West Bengal and trounce the unmitigated might of the BJP, has become 'Khadeda Hoibe' in the Samajwadi Party's version.

 

The video has been all over the internal. The anthem has a mixture of little twists of Bhojpuri and Awadhi. The anthem has been designed to appeal to central and eastern UP voters - the same strategy used by the BJP for its campaign two months ago. 'Khadeda Hoibe' roughly translates to 'be chased out.

 

The BJP song, sung by the party's own singer-actor-politician Nirahua, has become the BJP anthem for Yogi Adityanath ahead of the polls and makes its presence felt in all rallies. 

The SP leader Akhilesh Yadav has been using the same slogan at his rallies for about a month now and because it generates a good response, the party think tank also decided to make a song around it.

 

The Samajwadi theme song follows the launch of perfume with the party's election symbol on it. Called "Samajwadi Sugandh" or "Attar", a Samajwadi legislator who also runs a perfume business crafted it in Kannauj district, known for its fragrance industry.
