Giving message of 'perform or perish'' to IAS officers, Yadav said that if SP witnesses fall in votes in any particular area, then officers will also have to face hardships.

Addressing bureaucrats during IAS week programme, Yadav said "I am aware that action against them pleases the public and will also fetch votes for my party in the coming elections. But we want to give a free hand to officers and work in a good atmosphere."

Emphasising the need for a "good atmosphere and free hand" to bureaucrats to work , Yadav further said that all the pending works should be completed within the fifth year of his government.
