 "UP Assembly polls 2017: Akhilesh to address rallies in Sambhal, Amroha")
Kick starting the campaigning for the second phase of Uttar Pradesh elections, Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav will on Sunday address two election rallies in Sambhal and Amroha.
With the second phase of the state elections just three days away, political parties are busy campaigning to gain majority.
Akhilesh and Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi on Saturday jointly launched the Samajwadi Party (SP)-Congress alliance's Common Minimum Programme.
During the launch, Akhilesh attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying that their alliance has shaken the latter's confidence.
Akhilesh further slammed the prime minister saying that he only knows to do 'Mann Ki Baat' but not 'Kaam ki baat'.
"Several times people say 'Mann ki baat' but not 'Kaam ki baat'," said Akhilesh.
The second phase of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections will be held on February 15.
The first phase of the elections, which was held on Saturday, saw a voter turnout of 63 per cent.
