To my knowledge, there has been no such thing," the former chief minister said.Replying to a question, Yadav cautioned people to remain vigilant, alleging that the BJP could resort to extreme measures in the face of defeat."I want to warn everyone to stay alert and cautious. When the BJP is losing, it can do anything. It is now heading towards defeat and, once it goes, it may never return. That fear is troubling them the most," he said.
