SP has been ‘very soft’, needs to take hard stance: Akhilesh counters charge of party adopting ‘soft Hindutva’ approach

“The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has coined a word. They (BJP) are saying that it seems we too are going on the path of soft Hindutva. There is no need to panic. We has been very soft and the need now is to become hard,” Yadav told his party workers. His remark assumes significance as it came a day after SP general secretary Ramgopal Yadav termed the training camp a crucial step for “destroying the demons”, adding “the BJP is no less than a demon”.
