Lucknow, March 30 -- Uttar Pradesh Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday criticised the Uttar Pradesh government of shifting the focus from key issues like electricity, business and employment to religion stating that being a yogi is defined by thoughts and work and not attire.

Speaking to reporters, Yadav said, "The basic problems in this state are electricity, business, jobs and employment. This government's intention is that basic questions should not be asked, and hence, religious questions are raised. A person becomes a yogi not by his clothes but by his thoughts and work."

On Saturday, Yadav said that official figures show the State has the worst law and order situation.
