Expressing confidence over sweeping the upcoming assembly polls, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday said that Samajwadi Party is all set for the assembly elections adding that they know where to tighten the nut bolts and where to use hammer.

"We are going to fight the assembly election and will again win the polls and form a government in Uttar Pradesh," he said while speaking at the Uttar Pradesh Pravasi Divas 2017 in Lucknow.

Recounting the achievements of Samajwadi Party, the Chief Minister further said that his government has provided 24 hrs electricity in urban areas and 18 hrs in the rural areas.

"Many organisations are still in a shock that how come the Uttar Pradesh government has distributed so many laptops. This time we are planning to distribute smart phones," he added.

Akhilesh, who is said to be at loggerheads with his father and Samajwadi Party patron Mulayam Singh Yadav said that latter has helped him a lot to achieve success and his blessings is always with him.

The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister has earlier on Tuesday met Mulayam Singh Yadav at the latter's residence here amid the ongoing feud in the family.
