Etawah, Uttar Pradesh: Attacking the BJP, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav on Saturday said those who had promised "achche din" have now lost their way to "love jihad" and asserted that people are extending support to the ruling Samajwadi Party in the bypolls.

"The forces which had claimed 'achche din aayenge (good days are to come)' have now drifted and lost their way to love jihad," he said.

The Chief Minister, who cast his vote here in the Mainpuri Lok Sabha bypoll, said, "I think people are supporting us...."

"The forces which had taken help of wrong propaganda and made promises have not been able to fulfil them in 100 days," he said.
