Calling that no one could overlook the minority community which constitutes half of the total population, Chief Minister attacked Opposition Parties for flaying laptop distribution schemes of his government. ``laptop scheme is the biggest socialist as well as secular policy of my government which forwarded a gadget where any student could get information or knowledge about any thing just as the tip of a mouse", cited chief minister. He said that in some neighbouring states like Rajasthan, Chattisgarh etc had criticised their schemes and had instead announced to give laptops just to outstanding students in the name of stopping it’s misuse. ``They gave laptops to scholars but we give laptop to every student just as my government wanted that even a weakest student should get fair and equal chance of getting good knowledge and make himself brilliant", claimed Akhilesh saying that his government had a socialist thinking i.e to give equal chance to everyone.
