Mayawati: 'Yuvraj of Congress' should focus more on Delhi than UP

Lucknow: Taking on Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati today said he should focus more on Delhi than her state UP.

"Instead of expressing his anger here, it would be better if the Yuvraj of Congress vents his ire at the Congress-led Central government for its failure to contain inflation and adopting step-motherly treatment towards the development of the state," Mayawati said at a function in Lucknow.

"Why doesn't price rise and fuel hike make Rahul angry?" the Chief Minister added.

Recently, at an informal meeting with locals in UP's Bhadohi district, Mr Gandhi had said that he feels sorry at the state of development in Uttar Pradesh.

The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief has previously too been critical of Mr Gandhi's attempts to affiliate himself with farmers in her state.  Many a times in the past, the two have launched scathing attacks on each other on issues like land acquisition and farmers' rights.
