BJP 'spoiling' atmosphere in Uttar Pradesh, alleges CM Akhilesh Yadav

Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav on Tuesday accused the BJP of attempting to "spoil" the atmosphere of the state. "BJP is trying to spoil the atmosphere of Uttar Pradesh whereas the government is doing its work in an impartial manner", the chief minister, who was in his native Saifai village, told reporters in Etawah.

"The government is working with regard to the Saharanpur and Faizabad incidents in a just and impartial manner", Yadav said in response to a question. On the Kanth incident in Moradabad over a loudspeaker, the chief minister said that it was "not" such a big issue.

Stepping up the war of words against BJP, he said, "It could have been resolved with the help of elderly people there but a political party gave it an altogether different twist and shape." To a question on expelled party leader Amar Singh's meeting with the Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav in which he (Akhilesh) was also present, the chief minister refused to answer anything on it.
