VARANASI: "I become CM when I don't contest elections," Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav said on Tuesday, indicating that he would not contest the upcoming UP assembly elections.




Speaking to the media, SP supermo said, "I become CM when don't contest elections. In past I had gone to swear in as CM while being a Lok Sabha member".








"This time also I will go to swear in as CM from Lok Sabha," he said, replying to a question on whether he would try his luck from any assembly seat in Varanasi.




On a lighter note, Yadav said people in Kashi (Varanasi) consider auspicious timings before filing their nomination papers. He added that he would also do what he considered auspicious for himself.
