"When Will They Use A Bulldozer In Lakhimpur?": Akhilesh Yadav's Dig

Akhilesh Yadav reminded Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath of his boast about "running bulldozers" over properties of criminals in Uttar Pradesh.

Akhilesh Yadav, campaigning for the Uttar Pradesh election, took swipes at the ruling BJP today over Prime Minister Narendra Modi's rallies at government-hosted events and over the killing of farmers at Lakhimpur Kheri in which a Union Minister's son is the main accused.

The Samajwadi Party chief and former Chief Minister also suggested that the tax raids on his aide and other party leader on Saturday were politically driven.

"There are many questions over the junior Home Minister," Akhilesh Yadav said, referring to minister Ajay Mishra Teni, whose son Ashish Mishra is accused of running over farmers at Lakhimpur Kheri on October 3.

The minister clings to his job amid opposition calls for his removal and the BJP's rising discomfort over keeping him on in the run-up to the UP election.
