New Delhi, December 07: The Lok Sabha today witnessed a verbal duel between Union minister Salman Khurshid and SP member Akhilesh Yadav when the former referred to the defeat of the Samajwadi Party by Congress in the recent Ferozabad parliamentary bye-elections.
“You took away entire Uttar Pradesh from us and when we took only Ferozabad, then you became so angry,” remarked the Union Minister, a known detractor of SP supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav.
This angered Akhilesh, whose wife Dimple was the SP candidate in the bye-poll, prompting an outburst from him but what he said was expunged by the chair.
Dimple was defeated by Bollywood actor and Congress candidate Raj Babbar in the bye-poll.
