NEW DELHI: He was fairly gracious in defeat, but SP chief Akhilesh Yadav couldn't resist a few sarcastic comments aimed at the people of the state, who contrary to most expectations voted overwhelmingly for the BJP which is sweeping the Uttar Pradesh polls."I think the new government in power will work even better than the SP. It's possible people didn't like the great Expressway we built and they voted for a bullet train. We built great roads may be the people of UP were not happy with that and want even better roads? Maybe the BJP will build even better roads," Akhilesh said."We waived Rs 16,000 crores of farmers' debt. Now I'm hoping the BJP waives debts of farmers all across India," he said.The outgoing UP CM also said "votes aren't won by explaining things to people, they are won only by threatening people". He was insinuating the BJP threatened voters.Akhilesh didn't blame his party's alliance with the Congress."I'm happy about the alliance with the Congress and I believe the alliance may remain in the times to come, as well, " Akhilesh confirmed.About BSP leader Mayawati's allegation that "electronic voting machines were tampered with", Akhilesh said he "will look into the issue".The SP chief thanked the people of UP for giving him a chance to serve for 5 years and said that all is not lost despite the SPs defeat."I've always said we had a tubeless cycle, we just couldn't fill it with air, but it won't stop."
