After Akhilesh Yadav's PDA tweet, party projects him as 'future PM'

The spat between INDIA bloc partners Samajwadi Party (SP) and Congress over next month's MP assembly elections appears to have taken a new turn as workers of Akhilesh Yadav's party placed a large hoarding outside their headquarters in Lucknow on Monday, displaying him as the "future PM" of India. The hoarding surfaced a day after SP chief Akhilesh tweeted his "PDA" plank - short for "Pichada (backwards), Dalits, and Alpasankhyaks (minorities)" - for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections with the goal to "defeat NDA". In this context, he omitted mentioning INDIA.
