New Delhi: In the latest political development from Uttar Pradesh, Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav on Friday has claimed that his helicopter was not allowed to take off for UP’s Muzaffarnagar from Delhi.

The incident took place when Akhilesh was on his way to UP's Muzaffarnagar to take part in some programmes and now he has alleged that there is Bharatiya Janata Party's conspiracy behind this entire incident. 

"My helicopter has been stopped in Delhi without any reason. It is not being allowed to go to Muzaffarnagar, while a top BJP leader has just flown from here. This is a desperate conspiracy of the losing BJP. People are understanding everything..." he tweeted in Hindi.

मेरे हैलिकॉप्टर को अभी भी बिना किसी कारण बताए दिल्ली में रोककर रखा गया है और मुज़फ़्फ़रनगर नहीं जाने दिया जा रहा है। जबकि भाजपा के एक शीर्ष नेता अभी यहाँ से उड़े हैं। हारती हुई भाजपा की ये हताशा भरी साज़िश है।

After half an hour, Akhilesh made one more tweet in which he informed that he has got permission to fly. "Abuse of power is a sign of the people losing… This day will also be recorded in the history of socialist struggle! We are going to take a historic flight of victory…," the SP chief said.  

सत्ता का दुरूपयोग हारते हुए लोगों की निशानी है… समाजवादी संघर्ष के इतिहास में ये दिन भी दर्ज होगा!
