MIM MP from Hyderabad Asaduddin Owaisi opined that Akhilesh in UP is like in a pressure cooker kind of situation.On whether UP election is some kind of a referendum on the performance of the Modi government in last two-and-half years, Owaisi said people would look at the performance of both the Prime Minister and the Chief Minister.
“There is not much difference between Akhilesh and Modi because both have cleverly used this slogan of development but development has not happened. Modi has not been able to deliver jobs. Akhilesh claimed that he has given 4.52 lakh jobs in five years. People don’t believe that,” he said.
“Both Modi’s performance and Akhilesh’s five year’s performance… they will be asked important and pointed questions and people will judge them,” the AIMIM supremo said.
Referring to SP’s promise of giving pressure cooker to the poor women in the election manifesto released on Sunday, Owaisi said,Akhilesh himself is in a pressure-cooker situation.”
“Instead of distributing pressure cooker, SP itself is in a pressure cooker situation,” he said, referring to the people questioning the achievements of the Akhilesh government.
He alleged that during the Gujarat riots of 2002, the then Narendra Modi government in the state “failed to protect people which is a constitutional duty of a government, and people will not forget the Gujarat riots.”
“So, how can one forget Muzaffarnagar riots which happened under the Akhilesh government? So, this is the problem of all these so-called Congress that they want us to forget Muzaffarnagar because they have allied with the Samajwadi Party.
“So, people of Uttar Pradesh will never forget Muzaffarnagar,” the AIMIM leader said.
