Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for attending the Dussehra festivities in Lucknow, saying “had there been elections in Bihar, he would have slayed Ravan there.”
Akhilesh also backed Rahul Gandhi’s controversial ‘dalali’ remarks against PM Modi on surgical strikes saying the Congress leader must have said it after giving much thought.
“It’s not a question of Congress but I have good relations with Rahul Gandhi. If he has said something he must have given it much thought. He must have some information about it,” Akhilesh said
On Modi’s Luckow visit tomorrow, Akhilesh said, “He is coming to Lucknow; he will give something big to us. We have expectations from him for progress of the state.”
The BJP had accused Rahul after he made remarks that the Modi government was “profiteering” from the blood spilt by the soldiers. DelhiChief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and NCP too had disapproved of Rahul’s remarks.
