Shivpal went on to say, "In terms of governance, the BJP administration has failed everyone in the state. People are feeling down. Only the SP has the ability to bring about progress in the state."

Shivpal Singh Yadav, the younger brother of Samajwadi Party (SP) founder Mulayam Singh Yadav, said on Sunday that the Samajwadi Party-led alliance would win more than 300 seats in the Uttar Pradesh assembly election in 2022. "I am convinced that we will see a large win in this election. I believe our coalition (Pragatisheel Samajwadi Party (Lohia) & Samajwadi Party) would win about 300 seats," Shivpal Singh Yadav stated. The PSP leader also stated that his nephew, Akhilesh Yadav, will be sworn in as the state's chief minister.

Shivpal had already sought the approval of his elder brother and SP founder Mulayam Singh at the latter's Etawah house. Shivpal is running in the UP elections from Etawah's Jaswant Nagar seat. Today is the third round of voting in the seven-round election. He went on to say, "In terms of governance, the BJP administration has failed everyone in the state. People are feeling down. Only the SP has the ability to bring about progress in the state."
