Taking a dig at Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav’s “kaam bolta hai” slogan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said it was the SP leader’s “karnama” (misdeed) which spoke for him.
Modi, who has stepped up his attack on Akhilesh in recent days, also said that the Chief Minister is to be blamed if people of the state which he ruled for five years do not see ‘achche din’. “Akhileshji says ‘kaam bolta hai’ (work speaks for itself). Even a child here knows that it is your ‘karnama’ (misdeed) which is speaking for you,” Modi said at an election rally here.
“Akhilesh asks whether ‘achchhe din’ have come,” Modi said referring to the SP leader’s frequent jibe at Modi over his 2014 poll slogan of achchhe din (good days).
“He is the Chief Minister for the past five years and if people tell him that it has not come, he is responsible...It is BSP and Congress which is responsible.”
He also asked why Akhilesh “who had branded Mayawati Government as corrupt” and had promised to send to jail the guilty had not acted against them.
“Officials close to Mayawati and facing serious corruption charges were given more important posts after a drama of two-three months and doors were opened for more corruption.... What kind of officials were posted in NoidaIJ” Modi asked.
Stressing that all the political parties opposed to each other were together on the issue of corruption, Modi said both Mayawati and Mulayam Singh Yadav had never been one of any issue but both were angry with him on his note ban decision.
