BJP leader Smriti Irani on Monday hit out at Akhilesh Yadav, wondering why the Samajwadi Party president was seeking support of Trinamool Congress supremo and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee who had "insulted" the people of Uttar Pradesh.
While addressing a poll programme fro the upcoming U.P. polls in Gautam Buddh Nagar's Jewar, the Union Minister claimed Mr. Yadav's reach out to Ms. Banerjee was an indication that he is "not getting people's support on his own strength".
