Recently, Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav gifted a shawl to Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati on her 63rd birthday and put it across her shoulder.
He shared the joke he came across on social media on their alliance and said. “Meine social media pe dekha ek naujavan ne post kar diya ki Shri Akhilesh ji, Maya ji ko shawl pehna rahe hain, Toh naujavan likhta hai niche –Akhilesh ke mooh se ki... ye wahi shawl hai jo guest house mein pita ji ne utara tha.”
