March 15, 2014 17:20

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav today questioned the method and veracity of poll surveys that have predicted a dismal showing for the Samajwadi Party, and said his party would perform better than the last elections, when it got 23 out of the 80 seats in the state.

"We all know how these poll surveys are conducted and how samples are taken... No one has taken samples in Kannauj, Mainpuri and Etawah, then where have these samples come from,"Yadav asked, while addressing a press conference on the occasion of his government completing two years in office.
