Modi building 'castles of development' in the air: Akhilesh

Taking a dig at Prime Minister Narendar Modi, the Samajwadi Party today claimed he was trying to save his lost popularity and credibility bu laying foundations of various projects and building "castles of development in the air".

In a statement issued here, SP chief Akhilesh Yadav said, "Prime Minister was seen making a futile effort to sell developmental dreams during his two-day visit to Lucknow. He wants to save his lost popularity and credibility through laying foundations of various projects."
In a statement, state BJP chief Mahendra Nath Pandey said, "During the SP regime, the only investments made in the state were by criminals and in crime. The SP neither had a policy nor intention."
Taking a jibe at Yadav, he said, "While attempting to save the losing political ground and running from pillar to post in search of a coalition, the thought process of the prince of Saifai had become anti-developmental. Had the SP chief worked for the welfare of the people, they would not have been ousted."
Commenting on the frequent visits of the prime minister to Uttar Pradesh, senior SP leader Ram Gopal Yadav said, "This is just the beginning. As elections approach, he will have to come here on a daily basis."
