Discrediting bicycle is an insult to nation: Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav

LUCKNOW: Hours after PM Narendra Modi questioned the significance of Ahmedabad serial blast perpetrators planting bombs on bicycles and pointed out that SP’s election symbol too happens to be a bicycle, SP president Akhilesh Yadav described the insult of bicycle as the insult of nation.

“Bicycles help farmers pedal their way to prosperity. Our bicycle ferry our girl child to school.Our bicycle is the only mode of commutation on which price rise cannot take its toll. Our bicycle is an aeroplane for the common man and a matter of pride for rural India. Insulting a bicycle is like insulting entire nation,” Akhilesh tweeted in Hindi.
