Yadav fumed over the loot row and claimed the allegations baseless, saying he did not loot any furnishings from the government bungalow.

Meanwhile, he showed to media that he took with him the costly water- taps of jaguar company with him as they belonged to him.

Yadav carried taps along with him to the press conference, saying he took them as they belonged to him.

He said that the UP government is free to take those taps back if they want to.

The BJP is expected to respond to Yadav's claims at 2 pm today.

He also remarked that he left the bungalow intact and that a damaged corner of the bungalow was photographed in a way to make it look like the house was left in a bad state.

On pictures claiming damage to the swimming pool, Yadav said that there was "no swimming pool" in his bungalow.
