Lucknow, Oct. 18 -- Samajwadi Party Chief Akhilesh Yadav on Saturday extended wishes to everyone on Dhanteras and Diwali, sharply criticising the Yogi administration, labelling it a "futility government" and adding, "Do not expect electricity from it."

Addressing a gathering, SP Chief said, "This is a futility government. Don't expect electricity from it. The state of the state is such that Lucknow is experiencing traffic jams everywhere, yet it is being called a smart city."

He further remarked that an FIR should be filed against the official who declared Lucknow the third-smartest city. "There is so much garbage and traffic in the city. They spend crores of rupees but still cannot manage the traffic," he added.
