Opposition parties today welcomed Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav's move to take back his decision of allowing MLAs to purchase four-wheelers worth up to Rs 20 lakh out of their local area development fund.
"It is good that the government has rectified the mistake. Good that they have agreed to the suggestions given in the House that it would have pointed a finger at the working of the legislators," Leader of Opposition Swami Prasad Maurya said. 

Maurya claimed the government had to bow before the opposition on the issue, very much like it had to do earlier also on some of its "whimsical decisions". The BSP leader questioned as to why decisions, that had to be reverted within 24 hours, were taken in such a haste.
