Throwing an open challenge to Akhilesh Yadav, the BJP chief said, "Counting will begin at 8.00 AM on March 11…and by noon the counting process will be completed, bringing to an end the rule of Akhilesh Yadav by 1 PM".
The BJP chief took a jibe at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, saying, "On one hand Modi government has released 104 satellites, and on the other Rahul is pushing the 'cycle', which has already become punctured".
The cycle is the symbol of the Samajwadi Party with which Congress has forged an alliance for the ongoing assembly elections in the state.
