Akhilesh Yadav wishes every district in UP yields gold treasure

KANPUR: Hoping that every district in Uttar Pradesh yields gold treasure, Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, thanked the seer who dreamt of 1,000 tonnes gold treasure believed to be buried under a 19th century fort in Unnao, prompting the ASI to excavate the site.

Yadav told reporters that he wanted the seer's dream to come true.

When asked about to whom would the gold belong, he said he does not know whether the yellow metal would belong to the Centre or State government.

"I only want there be a goldmine in every district of the state," he said in a lighter vein.

Without naming Congress MP from Kanpur and union Coal minister Sri Prakash Jaiswal, Yadav said the SP has fielded stand-up comedian Raju Srivastava from Kanpur so that he wins the heart of people amid so much talk of the coal scam.

He congratulated Kanpur SSP Yashashvi Yadav for setting up in a short time a high-tech police control room, which he earlier inaugurated.
