Is issue of 'religion' dominating livelihood in UP polls?

As the elections are next door, Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh is leaving no stone unturned in lashing out at the Yogi government on every issue regarding his Vijay Rath Yatra. He says that UP needs a qualified government, not Yogi. In a conversation with Aaj Tak, Akhilesh Yadav said that the double engine government has disappointed the public. BJP should be careful with red color. When BJP loses, it makes religion an issue. This time our government will be formed in UP. Akhilesh Yadav also talked about Rakesh Tikait, he said that Rakesh Tikait keeps in touch with me, if he wants to contest elections, then Samajwadi Party will welcome him, although Akhilesh added that the decision to contest elections will be Rakesh Tikait's own.
