LUCKNOW: Describing fake news as a propaganda tool in the hands of self-proclaimed nationalists, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav said on Monday that fake news has led to the origination of the word "Feku" (one who brags and lies about things). "Samajwadi Party vikas se jeetna chahti hai, bakwas se nahi (SP wants to win through development and not by talking nonsense)," he said. They don't have any plans to ensure that the holy river is clean and pollution free that they had promised," he said. "They (BJP) don't want to ensure a clean Ganga but only use it for waterways to help businesses. "Those who encourage fake news claim to be nationalists but are actually anti-nationals as they are doing a disservice to the nation by pushing such propaganda," he said at a discussion on Fake News organised by the BBC at Lucknow university..
