New Delhi: On Wednesday, Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani lambasted ex-Uttar Pradesh chief minister Akhilesh Yadav over his 'martyr' remark and said the later's cheap political view is an insult to the state and its people.



"I think Akhilesh ji's statement is an effect of frustration after loss in Uttar Pradesh polls. It's a cheap political view. This is a way of defaming Modi ji. This is an insult of Gujarat and Gujarati people," Rupani said, reported news agency ANI.

The deputy Chief Minister of the Uttar Pradesh KP Maurya has also hit back at former CM of the state Akhilesh Yadav and said the later is unable to come out of the shock of Assembly election in which he tasted defeat.

"The message which he wants to send is unacceptable by the people," Maurya added.
