Lucknow, July 4 (IANS) Faced with widespread criticism of his decision to allow legislators to buy cars worth Rs.20 lakh from the local area development (LAD) funds, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav did a U-turn Wednesday and withdrew the largesse doled out a day ago.
Announcing this, Yadav said he had announced the sop as there were many members of the legislative assembly who were not in a position to buy cars.
Saying that the media and the opposition had misinterpreted the thought behind the move, he said he was withdrawing the announcement with immediate effect.
