Akhilesh Yadav was seen on camera lashing out at the doctor. “You could be from the RSS… you could be from the BJP… you don’t have to explain to me what they are saying.”, Akhilesh told the doctor. The former Chief Minister was visiting the patients and families who suffered in the recent bus accident that killed around 20 passengers.

“You don’t speak… you are a government man… I know. You don’t have to explain anything to me about what they are saying. You don’t speak because you are a government servant.”, Akhilesh told the doctor.
