Mulayam Pulls Up Akhilesh

Politically vibrant Uttar Pradesh will ring the curtain down on 2015 after a tug-of-war between Raj Bhawan and Akhilesh Yadav government on Lokayukta issue and the horrific Dadri lynching, even as ruling Samajwadi Party pulled up its socks for Assembly polls a year away.

Pulling up the Akhilesh Yadav-led government for the "slow place" of work on the development front in Uttar Pradesh, Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav today said that he was only hearing about "foundation-laying" of projects, and not the "inauguration" of such schemes.

Mulayam Singh Yadav said the Bihar Chief Minister had "improved roads, the loot in Patna stopped." And then, he quipped that his own son, Akhilesh, who is the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, could "pull a Bihar in UP in 15 days if he wanted."

In September, Akhilesh Yadav will complete six months as chief minister of Uttar Pradesh. His father, Mulayam, who is also the chief of the Samajwadi Party, has said the government isn't meeting its targets. Akhilesh said today that he accepts the criticism. "He is our leader...we will try to follow his advice, do what he suggests," he said today.
