Not naming the newspaper, the chief minister hinted that because its owner, a party MP, was denied a Rajya Sabha ticket such a story was carried.
"It's unfortunate that the artistes who have no knowledge about Muzaffarnagar were asked questions about it... You ask me... I am the Chief Minister and ready to answer them," he said.
Talking about the participation of film stars in the Mahotsav, Akhilesh said, "They have come earlier too when SP was not in the power... It's not right to humiliate them (the artists) and ask how did they take part in the programme."
He lamented that though Bollywood superstar Salman Khan visited a hospital and offered help to children there it was not covered by the media.
