When the media persons asked him regarding Akhilesh Yadav going to Mukhtar Ansari’s house, he said: “Who am I to tell him where he should go and where he should not go.”

“But I am sure wherever the SP goes, the BJP will win. As for Mukhtar Ansari, this is SP’s disease. The BJP is completely healthy. We think Mukhtar Ansari was a mafia. It is up to the SP what they think about him. We are winning all 80 seats in UP,” he claimed.

To a question about Robert Vadra likely to contest Lok Sabha election from Amethi, he said that it doesn’t matter if Rahul Gandhi’s brother-in-law contests the election or any other.

“It won’t make any difference even whether Rahul’s sister contests the elections,” he further said.
