"Akhileshji ke pita Mulayam Singh ney purey jivan Congress ka virodh kiya par unhone pita ki kamaiee par paani pher diya (Mulayam opposed Congress all his life but Akhilesh ruined his father's work)," Singh said at an election meeting in Rasra.
"SP had realised that it is not strong enough to win the polls and so it shook hands with Congress, but Mulayam has punctured the 'cycle' of SP and feuding uncle Shivpal has broken its chain...How will Akhilesh reach Lucknow on such a cycle with Rahul as the pillion rider?" Singh asked.
On Rahul Gandhi, the Union minister said four months ago, the Congress leader had held meetings on 'khats' (cots) which are normally used for sleeping and not to hold meetings.
Lamenting the political atmosphere in the state, Singh said that parties which talk about eradicating poverty and improving the lot of the poor are today honouring money over the hard work of people.
The Union Home Minister also spoke of terrorism and said Pakistan was facing the heat going by developments there in the past 10 days.
