"Gone are the days, no maharaja is there now. I will make him (Scindia) a rooster whenever I wish to," Yadav said, adding that "jab Scindia ka ye hal hai to unke mantriyon ka kya hal hoga (when Scindia is in this situation, then one can imagine about his loyalists).

Yadav, who is leading the first phase of the yatra, also made controversial remarks on state Home Minister Narottam Mishra.

Yadav further said, "This sandesh yatra will reach Datia on June 25 and from that particular day, the politics of Narottam Mishra will end."
