Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday lashed out at the Centre and flagged what he called "mismanagement" of the India AI Impact Summit in Delhi, saying it was creating chaos for several people, especially children, who are stuck in traffic jams despite their board exams.

In a long post on X, Yadav said while IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw apologised for the issues faced by people on the first day of the AI Summit, he mocked him, saying he would now apologise for the traffic jams in Delhi.

"Yesterday, a BJP minister apologized for the mismanagement, various disruptions, and stolen goods at the India AI Impact Summit 2026 being held in the nation's capital. Now, he'll apologise for the traffic jams in Delhi. Think about the children and parents stuck in traffic jams despite their board exams," he said.

The SP chief claimed that every BJP event was held without planning and that these "PR-hungry individuals only wanted a clean image of themselves".
