Pulwama Attack: Why is Modi govt waiting and watching? asks Akhilesh Yadav

Lucknow: On the day when Indian Army gunned down the mastermind of Pulwama Terror Attack, former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and Samajwadi Party Chief Akhilesh Yadav, on Monday, asked the Narendra Modi government "Why it is waiting and watching?"

In a tweet, Akhilesh said, "Till when will the three day period of mourning keep getting extended? Everyday we get news of the brave martyrdom of our jawans while smiling BJP politicians accompany their funeral processions. Why is the govt waiting and watching?"

Yadav had, on February 15, visited the house of slain CRPF personnel Pradeep, one of the 40 victims of the Pulwama terror attack, in Kannauj and paid condolences.

The SP Chief has also attacked the Centre for the technical glitch that was developed in the Vande Bharat Express on its test run.

"After the inauguration, fumes were seen in Vande Bharat train, power failure inside coaches, snag developed in brakes after which train came to a halt. Vande Bharat is a story of development. Farmers are angry, youths are unemployed, security system has collapsed and country's economy shattered," he wrote on the microblogging website.
