I would like to ask him in which metro he wants to commute first, Ghaziabad, Noida or Lucknow?” Akhilesh said while addressing a rally in Hardoi.
Prime Minister Modi mocked the “kaam bolta hai” campaign of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav saying that Akhilesh had been fooling people of Uttar Pradesh and has little work to show. “I am going to Lucknow.
