ETAH: Engaging in an idirect attack against BJP, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav today warned people against those who had promised “achchey din”, exhorting them to teach a lesson by coming out to vote in large numbers in the coming state Assembly elections.
“People have come to know the reality of achchey din by standing in long queues (before banks)…now it is the turn of the people to stand in long queues at election time and teach them a lesson,” the Chief Minister, who inaugurated projects worth Rs. 51,000 crores in Etah, said in a public meeting.
“Labourers have had to bear the brunt of this scheme of the Prime Minister the most..none of the rich have ever stood in the queues..this scheme has forced hardships on people,” he said.

“It has however created scope of corruption in banks,” he said.
Mr Yadav also took a dig at the “earthquake” remarks by leaders of national parties without taking names and exhorted people not to get influenced by such talks.
