UP, 20/2: Attacking Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said that the CM-candidate is “insecure” about his seat and had to plead to his father, whom he had “humiliated” to capture the party, to save him from defeat in the constituency.
“You can gauge the direction of wind… The seat, which these people were considering as the safest, is also getting out of their reach,” Modi said in an apparent reference to the Karhal seat from where Yadav is contesting in the family-stronghold of Mainpuri.
Ahead of polling in the third phase, SP patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav had campaigned for his son Akhilesh Yadav on the seat though he has maintained a low profile during this election.
