Akhilesh the CM of UP was upbeat about the first two phases of polling in the state, adding that the crestfallen demeanour of the opposition was evidence of their poor performance.
Defending the SP’s poll alliance and joint rallies with Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi, Akhilesh said the BJP was rattled with this tie-up and was using all the tricks to break this alliance.
On the issue of demonetisation, he said the PM had no idea how much the common man suffered because of the move. “They have to tell the country how much black money they recovered from this drive.
”About the Yadav family feud and its impact on the party’s prospects, Akhilesh said, “There were some people who wanted to snatch away the cycle, but I prevented that.”
Talking about her campaign in different constituencies, Dimple said, “We have very little time left. So I am campaigning at places wherever the party wants me to go in the elections.”
She said she was getting a fantastic response. “I feel welcomed and loved at different rallies.”
On a lighter note, asked for his views on new US president Donald J Trump, Akhilesh said, “I am quite away from US politics. I am not into it.”
