Akhilesh clinging to whatever support he gets: PM Modi

TIL Desk/National/Aligarh/ Launching a scathing attack on the Akhilesh Yadav government for “doing nothing” to develop the state, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said the Chief Minister was desperately seeking whatever support is coming his way to retain power. The wave of BJP is so strong that the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister is grabbing whatever support he gets as he fears of being washed out, the Prime Minister said at an election rally here, taking a dig at the SP-Congress poll alliance.

Using his signature style of coining acronyms to assert that BJP will bring “Vikas” which stands for ‘Vidyut’ (electricity), ‘Kanoon’ (law and order) and ‘Sadak’ (roads) if elected, he trained his guns on the state government for failing to maintain law and order, saying women cannot venture outside their homes after the sun sets.

He said political parties were against him because they know that “if Modi gets majority in Rajya Sabha, government will make such rules that the corrupt will be caught. So, they are afraid. … I am tightening the screws to teach those supporting black money a lesson”.
