In an exclusive conversation with AajTak on Sunday, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath alleged that the father of one of the convicts in the 2008 Ahmedabad serial blast case had links with the SP.

"SP has a shameful history," he said, adding, "Earlier, when SP was in power, the party supported terrorists involved in the 2008 Ahmedabad blasts. But now the court's decision has come against the terrorists. Hence, SP should apologise to the nation."
