Akhilesh Yadav has hit out at the Congress for not including his Samajwadi Party's lone lawmaker in the Madhya Pradesh government despite the party's role in helping it reach the majority mark. The Samajwadi chief's broadside came with an unsubtle hint about Uttar Pradesh. "Thanks to the Congress, they did not make our vidhayak (legislator) a minister," Akhilesh Yadav told reporters on Wednesday. By doing so, said the former Uttar Pradesh chief minister, the Congress had "cleared the path for Uttar Pradesh".
