LUCKNOW (UP): Samajwadi Party (SP) president and former chief minister of Uttar Pradesh Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday said that Swami Vivekananda had said that the people of the country need bread more than religion.
Addressing a press conference in the auditorium of the party’s state headquarters on the occasion of Swami Vivekananda’s birth anniversary, celebrated as the ‘National Youth Day’, he said, “Swami ji had said that the people of the country need bread more than religion. Explaining religious things to the poor will be wrong in today’s time.”
In response to a question, Yadav said that the BJP will lose the Milkipur Assembly bye-election. Many newspapers, channels and the media are saying that the equation is in favour of the Samajwadi Party, he added.
