-

LUCKNOW :BSP chief Mayawati on Tuesday hit out at the state government, hours after SP president Akhilesh Yadav claimed he was stopped from boarding a flight at the Lucknow airport to prevent him from attending a programme organised by the Allahabad University students’ union.She tweeted, “Extremely condemnabl­e that Samajwadi Party president and former UP chief minister Akhilesh Yadav was stopped at Lucknow airport today in order to prevent him from attending a programme in Allahabad. This is anti-democratic and an example of the total dictatorsh­ip of the BJP government.”
