Akhilesh on polls: 'Those who revise more succeed in exams'
Akhilesh Yadav said he had worked hard in the state, drawing an analogy with students "who revise more succeed in examinations".
Lucknow: A day before the last phase of polling, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav today said he had worked hard in the state, drawing an analogy with students "who revise more succeed in examinations".
"I toured the entire state and worked hard and held 'rath yatras' also in the past. I feel that those who revise more succeed in examinations. Had Prime Minister done anything for UP, he would not have to do so many road shows here," the Samajwadi Party president said.
"I want to ask him (Modi) to give an account of his three years' work as I am doing for my five years as CM. BJP had to do many road shows seeing response of SP-Congress' historic show in Varanasi," he told a news conference here.
Attacking Modi for raising power failure issue, Akhilesh claimed there was no power cut in Kashi Vishwanath Temple.

"In the temple, as prayers were to be held someone mistakenly switched off the lights instead of fans," he said denying PM's charge that wherever polls were over power cuts had started.
Appealing to people to vote for his party, Akhilesh said, "SP government had worked on the ground and has a lot of achievements. We have also given our outline of what we will do in your next regime".
"We want to know what BJP wanted to do? Which expressway do they want to construct. What has the Centre done for women's security?" he said, adding only SP could take the state forward.
