The SP chief's retort at an election rally here came against the backdrop of BJP president Amit Shah calling the pre-poll alliance as one "between two corrupt families - one from Delhi and the other from Lucknow."
"This is not an alliance between two families, it is an alliance between two youngsters, who would change the course of politics both at the national and state levels," Akhilesh asserted.
The UP CM also asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to swear by 'Ganga Maiyya' (river Ganga) and clarify whether the latter's constituency Kashi (Varanasi) was getting electricity for 24 hours or not.
"Whenever truth has to be confirmed from any person, he or she is asked to swear by Ganga Maiyya.
"The amount of electricity supplied during Diwali is more than that given during Ramzan in Uttar Pradesh. Steady supply of electricity was ensured during Christmas as well," he said on Modi's Diwali-Ramzan power supply remark.
The Prime Minister had in an election rally in the poll-bound state said recently, "Agar Ramzan mein bijli aati hai, to Diwali me bhi aani chahiye, bhedbhav nahi hona chahiye (If there is electricity during Ramzan, it must also be available during Diwali, there should be no discrimination)."
On the pre-poll alliance with Congress for the state Assembly polls, Akhilesh said, "Samajwadi people generally ride their cycles by pedaling them. And in enthusiasm, they also tend to ride the bicycles without using their hands. Now with the 'hand' of Congress giving a support to the handle, can you tell what would be the speed of the cycle?"
Cycle is SP's party symbol, while 'hand' is that of Congress.
Donkey politics in Uttar Pradesh
Interesting, the high-decibel campaign for the fifth phase of the crucial Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, witnesses an animal-"donkey" as its talking point between Samajwadi Party and BJP.
The political campaigning in the fifth phase of the state polls was marked by 'war of words' among rival parties.
Addressing a poll rally in Rae Bareli recently, Akhilesh Yadav had said, "There comes an advertisement on Television that features donkeys. I will ask the megastar of this century (Amitabh Bachchan) to stop campaigning for donkeys."
His comments came on a tourism advertisement for Gujarat featuring Bachchan promoting the state's wild ass.
At his rally in Bahraich, Prime Minister Narendra Modi hit back at Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav for his "donkey" remark, asking him if he was afraid of the four-footed creatures of Gujarat.
"I take inspiration from the donkey because I work for people day and night...donkeys are loyal to their master," he had said on Thursday to counter the SP chief's reference to donkeys of Gujarat in a poll meeting earlier in Rae Bareli.
"It works even if it is ill, hungry or tired and completes the task...Akhileshji these 125 crore countrymen are my masters...I do all the work they ask me to do as I take inspiration from donkeys and take it with full pride," he said.
"In elections, opponents criticise each other... Akhileshji I can understand if you attack Modi and BJP but I am amused that you have attacked donkeys...are you afraid of donkeys, that too these are thousands of kilometres away?"
