Monday saw political power play peak in Uttar Pradesh. Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a Mandir pitch in Sambhal and a development push in Lucknow. Remember, Sambhal is considered a Samajwadi party bastion in West UP. On the other hand, speaking of the Samajwadi Party, Akhilesh made a U-turn on his decision to join Rahul Gandhi's Nyay Yatra asking him to walk the talk on seat sharing in the state. Rahul Gandhi walked into Amethi with Smriti Irani, the sitting MP, already making her presence felt on ground.
