With Akhilesh Yadav at war with his uncle Shivpal Yadav, Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi on Thursday took a dig at him, saying the chief minister was trying to change the image of his government by "replacing tyres of his damaged cycle" but it was too late.
Making speeches during his yatra in Allahabad with an eye on next year's assembly polls, Gandhi said Akhilesh cannot accomplish much in the remaining few months.
"Akhilesh Yadav is trying to change the image of his government. He is trying to replace tyres of his damaged cycle," the Congress leader said, in an apparent referrece to the Samajwadi Party's election symbol cycle and removal of tainted ministers from cabinet by Akhilesh.
"But he should realize it is too late. Four-and-a-half years have been wasted," he added.
Akhilesh recently removed the state's chief secretary, who was considered close to his uncle Shivpal Yadav, on charges of corruption, leading to chain of unpleasant developments in the ruling family clan.
Contending that Akhilesh government had performed badly, he said, "here one does not need to worry while touching a damaged electricity cable since no current flows through these."
