The Bharatiya Jana Party on Sunday hit out at Samajwadi Party chief and former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Akhilesh Yadav for denying tea offered at police headquarters in Lucknow citing trust issues. In a video widely shared on the internet, Akhilesh Yadav can be heard asking someone to fetch tea from “outside” as he "doesn't trust the policemen".

"I will not drink the tea here. I will bring mine (tea), but will take your utensil. I can't drink the tea offered here, what if you poison me? I don't trust. I will get it from outside."
