"What's Your Excuse For UP?": Combative Akhilesh Yadav Over Article 370 | Read

If Article 370 had held up the progress of Jammu and Kashmir, what was the reason behind the lack of development in Uttar Pradesh, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav asked Home Minister Amit Shah in parliament on Tuesday, blasting the government over revoking special status to India's northern-most state. "I was told this (removing Article 370) will bring development to Kashmir. I am happy for that. But I want to know if Uttar Pradesh has been cheated despite the Prime Minister, President, Governor, you (Speaker) being from there, how can one say Kashmir will progress?" Akhilesh Yadav said in his speech in the Lok Sabha.
