RAE BARELI, UTTAR PRADESH:
HIGHLIGHTS
Request Big B to not do ad campaigns for Gujarat's gadhas: Akhilesh Yadav  
Comment comes day after PM said in UP everyone felt discriminated against
If village has graveyard, should also have cremation ground, PM had said


Akhilesh Yadav's outrageous dig today, apparently at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Gujarat, featured Amitabh Bachchan and donkeys. "I request the century's biggest superstar, please don't do any ad campaigns for Gujarat's gadhas (donkeys)," the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister said while campaigning in Raebareli.

Without taking names, Mr Yadav referred to an ad in which Mr Bachchan - whose wife Jaya Bachchan is a Samajwadi party lawmaker - gives viewers a glimpse of a "Wild Ass Sanctuary" near Ahmedabad. The 74-year-old veteran has filmed a series of such ads as brand ambassador of Gujarat tourism.

"We will tell the mahanayak, don't campaign for donkeys. Have you ever heard of campaigning for donkeys? Gujarat's people are doing campaigns for donkeys...then they accuse me of working only for kabristan (graveyard...)," said the 43-year-old Chief Minister.

The latest comment reflects increasingly pungent discourse in Uttar Pradesh as various parties race to the finish line of the state polls described by many as the semi-final before the 2019 national election.

As voting has progressed in Uttar Pradesh, whose result will be used to weigh the PM's chances of winning the next general election in two years, speeches by the main leaders have devolved into invective. On Monday, Mr Yadav at a rally said that new ads promoting tourism for the PM's home state of Gujarat hype the wild ass "as an exception creature." He told voters, "be wary of the exaggerated ability of this donkey."
