And now Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav gave his reaction to the ongoing unrest in the neighbouring country without taking any name. Akhilesh Yadav said if such vote theft happens in India, people may be seen on streets in India too. His statement read as, "If such vote rigging happens here, people may take to the streets just like in neighbouring countries."

He said, "It's the Election Commission's responsibility to ensure that no vote is stolen anywhere... Everyone knows that when they couldn't win elections through vote theft, they tried to stop the vote with the power of a revolver."

"If such incidents happen, it's possible that people here might take to the streets, just like what happened in our neighbouring countries," he added.
