Several big leaders, who are competing to get in news, visited the relief camps of Muzaffarnagar riot victims but no one came forward for help, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav today claimed.

"Big leaders went to Muzaffarnagar after riots. Requested them to move a step forward...but nobody came forward. We are in the government, we are taking required steps," Yadav told reporters here in a reply to a question. He claimed that there was "sort of competition among these leaders to get in news, but nobody came for help".

On a question regarding RJD leader Lalu Prasad Yadav's visit to Muzaffarnagar, Yadav said, "he called me...he is a big leader and it is a good thing that he went to Muzaffarnagar. I told him that if he has any suggestion that he could tell...we will extend all help."
