Lucknow: Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday slammed the recent demolition drive in Ayodhya, alleging that poor families are being uprooted and deprived of their homes and livelihood, and promised to compensate them if his party returns to power in Uttar Pradesh.
Addressing a press conference at the SP headquarters here, Yadav said his party never obstructed development of Ayodhya and that, if given an opportunity, it would make the temple town a "world-class city".
