LUCKNOW: A day after Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav justified his foreign visits claiming that it was during these trips that he got the inspiration for development projects like Agra Expressway and Metro rail project in UP, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati said a strong political will, and not foreign tours, is required for development.
On Tuesday, while congratulating Satish Mahana on being unanimously elected as the UP Assembly Speaker, Leader of the Opposition Akhilesh Yadav had cited Mahana’s bio-data, which mentions that the Speaker had made 35 foreign visits till now.
