It seems former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav is yet to come to terms with Samajwadi Party's humiliating loss in the Assembly election. Akhilesh lost his cool at this reporter when asked about the Samajwadi family feud and the party's loss.

Akhilesh had called a press conference in Lucknow today, however, the event was cancelled at the last moment.

Akhilesh told mediamen that he would talk to them on tomorrow. At this point, this reporter asked him about his views over the feud in his the Samajwadi family. The question didn't go down well with the former CM.

Akhilesh asked the reporter his name. After hearing from the reporter, the former CM said," I do not know him. He is wearing saffron. You fix a day and I will answer all your questions. You will not ask me any questions after that."

"There is much politics going on. This nation will be ruined and people like you will not be seen after that. People like you will lead to the downfall of the nation," Akhilesh went on lashing out at the India Today reporter.

Akhilesh was agitated as the question was being evaded by him for long and when confronted with it he lost his cool.

Ever since the election debacle, Akhilesh's uncle Shivpal Yadav has upped the ante against him and been demanding his removal from party president post.

Akhilesh had gone against the wishes of his father Mulayam and entered into a pre-poll alliance with the Congress with the hope of retaining power.
