Talking about Bahujan Samajwadi Party chief Mayawati, the Congress leader said: “I personally respect Mayawatiji”.

Akhilesh avoided the question because his father Mulayam Singh nurtures Prime Ministerial ambition and putting bet on Rahul could further deteriorate his relations with Mulayam Singh Yadav.

Not so long ago, the two parties have been haggling over seats in Amethi and Rae Bareli, the parliamentary turf of Congress president Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi. Akhilesh also tried to hard sell his ‘kaam bolta hai’ (work speaks for itself) slogan, adding that everyone knows his developmental work in the past five years, while focusing on his flagship Agra Expressway and the Lucknow Metro project.

However, to answer a question on the BSP being a partner in the alliance, Akhilesh said, “Where is the space for her?” The Congress doesn’t want to let go of the seats given their symbolism for the Gandhi family while the SP has to accommodate people such as Gayatri Prajapati from there. He said the alliance would create trust among the people and take all sections of society along.

Akhilesh Yadav – UP’s young Chief Minister – has been cast in the role of “Veeru”, played by Dharmendra in the movie, who rides pillion. At the same time, it wanted to stop the politics of anger, which harmed people.

“Her involvement in Uttar Pradesh can be understood from the fact that she has attended nearly every top-level strategy meet on UP”. Find us on Facebook too! We are fighting the elections jointly on the basis of the similarities.

The alliance is the confluence of Ganga and Yamuna out of which the Saraswati of development will come out… “And we don’t even know how large that elephant will be”, he said. If the BJP won UP, it would all but cement its position at the Centre for the 2019 General Elections. Congress will contest polls on 150 seats out of the total 298 seats there.

A day after Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi and he took out a collective road show in Lucknow, Akhilesh Yadav on Monday stressed on the winning prospects of the tie-up.
