Lucknow, 26/4: Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav hit back at Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday, saying he was talking about ‘tamancha’ to divert people’s attention as he has failed to provide basic facilities like education and health in Uttar Pradesh.
Yadav’s reaction came after he was asked about Adityanath’s statement at an election meeting in Unnao that those associated with a particular party would brandish ‘tamancha’ (country-made pistol) before 2017.
“The chief minister is not able to give education, so he is talking about ‘tamancha’. As he is not not able to provide health facilities, he talks about ‘tamancha’. Why are they talking like this? They are saying this because there is a saying in English that ‘old habits die hard’,” Yadav told reporters in Ghaziabad.
