Taking a dig at Narendra Modi government at the Centre for rising fuel prices, former UP chief minister Akhilesh Yadav said that cycle doesn't need diesel or petrol. Cycling will make you healthier. It also teaches you how to balance. SP can take along BSP and Congress. He was interacting at India Today Mind Rocks event held in Delhi

He ridiculed the Yogi Adityanath government of Uttar Pradesh saying that the chief minister was not doing any work but instead telling people that sugarcane causes diabetes.


The SP president also criticised the Modi government for "cheating" the people by making false promises on demonetisation."The government said demonetisation will end corruption and stop terror funding. Did it happen?"

On being told that law and order situation in Uttar Pradesh has improved under BJP rule, the former CM said that crime rates are the highest in UP and Delhi despite the fact that BJP looks after the law and order of both states. 

Taking an apparent dig at Modi’s statement that selling pakoda is also a form of employment, Akhilesh said that people would soon decide if they want pakodawala government or expressway government. 
He also lamented that his party was outsmarted by BJP in marketing their success and work. In an obvious reference to the prime minister keeping long hours at work for the progress of the country, Akhilesh said: "Even laborers do hard work, that doesn't mean they are progressing." 

On being probed about his friendship with Rahul Gandhi, Akhilesh said: "I'm not one to break friendship."

On being asked about the family dispute in his party, the former CM said, "Every family has dispute. If someone doesn't have a family, how will there be a dispute." The reference was to Modi whose family doesn't stay with him and has remained away from politics. 

He also dismissed the allegations that SP plays caste politics saying it's BJP which indulge in caste politics in the name of social engineering. The SP president appealed to the young voters to vote for development and not for divisive forces.
