Claiming credit for the Metro rails in Lucknow and Ghaziabad, Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav lashed out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for what he called “re-inauguration of the two projects”.
Akhilesh, who never lets go an opportunity to target Prime Minister Narendra Modi, tweeted: “This is the last inauguration by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and country will get a new prime minister after Lok Sabha elections.”
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday visited Varanasi, Kanpur and Ghaziabad where he dedicated several projects to nation and also laid the foundation stones of several other projects, including a thermal power project at Panki in Kanpur.
Targeting the Prime Minister for inaugurating the commercial run of Lucknow Metro from CCS airport in Amausi to Munshipulia, Akhilesh said, “I have heard that honourable prime minister is coming from Delhi to re-inaugurate Metro rail in Lucknow and Ghaziabad which were constructed during the Samajwadi Party government. Let him fulfil his wishes as this is going to be the last inauguration by Narendra Modi.”
In another tweet, Akhilesh targeted the Prime Minister for his slogan ‘Modi hai to mumkin (possible) hai’, saying those spreading hatred against a particular language should note that their ‘Mumkin...’ slogan could not be mumkin (possible) without the use of that (Urdu) language.
Continuing his tirade against the BJP government, the SP chief said, “The extent of hatred is so much against a particular language that they are not only targeting Urdu but also demolished a gate in Rampur named after Urdu.
“They forget that when votes are cast governments are toppled. Urdu Hindustan ki zaban hai aur dilwalon ki pehchan hai,” Akhilesh said in his tweet.
The district administration of Rampur had demolished an arch named as Urdu gate on the road leading to Maulana Jauhar University, a private university promoted and owned by senior Samajwadi Party leader Mohammad Azam Khan, also the MLA from Rampur.
