Akhilesh slams BJP for claiming credit for Kushinagar airport

Lucknow: Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday slammed the BJP for claiming the work of his government as its own.

"They (BJP) have not placed even a brick in the foundation but now they have come to inaugurate the work initiated by the Samajwadi Party. They have come with scissors, ribbons, garlands and sweets. BJP should remember that becoming a pilot does not make one the owner of the plane - more so if the runway you are using is on land that has been prepared by another," he tweeted in Hindi.

Akhilesh has repeatedly been accusing the BJP of claiming credit for work initiated by his government. On more than one occasions, he has said that "Let them show me one project that they have initiated and completed."
