Akhilesh once again challenged Modi for a debate on development and said, “His charge of discrimination did not have any ground. We provided electricity on all festivals.
Varanasi (represented by Modi in Parliament) is also getting 24-hour power supply.”
He said the government at the Centre stood “thoroughly exposed” on its work and they (BJP leaders) are now deliberately raking up “irrelevant issues and questions during polls”.
Asked about SP patron Mulayam Singh Yadav’s “disinterest” in campaigning for party candidates, Akhilesh said he would reply to this question after March 11 when the poll results are out.
On the use of ‘donkey’ and other such words during campaign, he said, “This is not the language of Lucknow. We are just replying to issues raised by those who come from Delhi.”
He expressed confidence that SP-Congress alliance will notch up over 300 of the 403 Assembly seats.
