Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday slammed the Samajwadi Party for not announcing its candidate list publicly and alleged that the party is "taking money under the table" for giving tickets for the Uttar Pradesh Assembly election.

Speaking with the media here, Yogi Adityanath said, "The habit does not improve very quickly and that's why in a hurry to hide faces, SP has avoided making the list of candidates public and is silently alloting the party symbol under the table and is taking money for it."
