Mr Yadav should not try and hoodwink the intelligent industry captains with his sweet talk, state Bharatiya Janata Party spokesman Vijay Bahadur Pathak said while seeking to know which media reports the chief minister was referring to.

Law and order, power situation and messy infrastructure were big stumbling blocks that deterred industry from coming to Uttar Pradesh, the BJP leader said.
Asked about claims that memorandums of understanding worth Rs.51,000 crore were signed at an investors conclave in Mumbai on Thursday, Mr Pathak said such "falsehood" had been the hallmark of the three-and-a-half years of the Samajwadi Party (SP) rule in Uttar Pradesh.
