Akhilesh Yadav Offers BJP Leaders Chief Ministership for 100 MLAs Amid Political Tensions

Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav renewed his offer for any BJP leader who can bring 100 MLAs to become Uttar Pradesh's chief minister, indirectly referencing Deputy Chief Ministers Keshav Prasad Maurya and Brajesh Pathak. The BJP criticized this remark as a sign of SP's desperation and incapacity to form a government independently, while dismissing any internal party rifts. The offer comes amid ongoing political positioning ahead of the 2027 state assembly elections.
