Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday said the Samajwadi Party (SP)-Congress tie-up was an alliance of youth that will change the course of politics at national and state levels.
Addressing an election rally, Akhilesh said: "This is not an alliance between two families, it is an alliance between two youngsters, who would change the course of politics both at the national and state levels."
The UP CM also asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to swear by 'Ganga Maiyya' (river Ganga) and clarify whether the latter's constituency of Varanasi was getting 24 hours electricity.
He also reacted to Modi's comment at a poll rally that if people were getting electricity on Ramzan, they should also get power supply on Diwali.
"The amount of electricity supplied during Diwali is more than that given during Ramzan in Uttar Pradesh. Steady supply of electricity was ensured during Christmas as well," he said.
