Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath issued a stern warning to miscreants harming daughters in Uttar Pradesh. The UP CM said whoever tried to harm daughters in the state would lose their hands and legs. He said this was not the UP that existed before 2017. Launching a scathing attack on opposition for cowering before anti social elements for petty political ends, he said Mafia was a curse on society which would keep spoiling the present and future of people, if not removed.
Speaking at the district-level mega employment and loan distribution fair held in Phulpur, Prayagraj, CM Yogi Adityanath added that the opposition parties did not have the guts to use a bulldozer and would suffer heart attack even at the sight of it.
War of Words
In past 48 hours, UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and former Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav once again engaged in war of words. Both the leaders made allegations and counter-allegations on issues of bulldozer, wolf attacks and DNA which also led to personal attacks. Yogi compared the wolf attacks witnessed in Bahraich to the government of the state in UP before 2017, to which Samajwadi Party chief retorted.
The UP CM reacting sharply to Akhilesh Yadav’s statement that after SP government came to power in 2027, all “bulldozers” would head towards Gorakhpur — the home district of CM Yogi Adityanath— saying not everyone had the heart and character to handle a bulldozer.
Yogi Adityanath remarked in response to the Samajwadi Party chief’s comment on bulldozer, the machine which has become emblematic of his style of governance.
UP witnessed loot before 2017
Launching a veiled attack on former CM Akhilesh Yadav, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that those who looted the state before 2017, today after their dreams have been shattered, aspire to return to power.
“Tipu is trying to become Sultan. Many years ago, a serial titled “Mungerilal ke Haseen Sapne” used to be aired, theme of which presently holds resemblance to opposition leaders in UP. When the public gave them an opportunity, they left no stone unturned in messing with the future of he youths of the state leading to identity crisis for youths, businessmen and entrepreneurs.
Everyone cannot handle a Bulldozer
CM Yogi Adityanath said without naming anyone that everyone could not use a bulldozer. For this, both heart and mind were required. “Will power and ability like a bulldozer is required to run a bulldozer. People who bow down before mafia and rioters cannot run a bulldozer,” he said.
Before 2017, terror like that of man-eating wolves plagued the state
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in a tone of sarcasm said just like the present situation in some districts of UP where man-eating wolves were attacking humans, a similar situation prevailed before 2017 in state.
“Chacha-Bhatija used to collect money, corruption is in their DNA”
UP CM Yogi Adityanath attacked the former CM Akhilesh Yadav over alleged prevalence of rampant corruption in state machinery saying that both ‘Chacha-Bhatija’ (uncle and nephew) used to collect money for everything in state. “Why did the youth not get appointment letters earlier, because their intentions were not clear. There was competition between uncle and nephew regarding recovery as to who would recover how much. The areas were divided. All the characters of Mahabharata were here. Those who are speaking today, they also got the opportunity, but did nothing, corruption was in their DNA.” he said.
Earlier there was no money for salaries, today UP is a revenue surplus state
CM Yogi Adityanath said when his government came to power, the state was at number 14 in ease of doing business and today it has been converted into an achiever state. This is the same state where there was no money to pay salaries, but today we are a revenue surplus state. There is no shortage of any kind of revenue for development. Multifaceted development is taking place in every field. He said that all this is being done only when the state has money.
Bulldozers do not have a brain, they only have steering – Akhilesh Yadav
SP chief Akhilesh Yadav said that bulldozers did not have a brain, they only had steering. The public or the people of Delhi can change this steering anytime. Targeting CM Yogi Adityanath, he said that he is very concerned about the DNA of socialists, but he cannot tell the full form of DNA.
Does the CM residence has a approved map, then show it: SP supremo
He said that now even the Supreme Court has said that bulldozers cannot be used as it was unconstitutional. He asked whether the map of the CM residence is approved. If it is approved, then it should be told when it was approved. He said that the government’s arrogance resulted in use of bulldozer in Akbarnagar, but stopped beyond that. Will they apologize for the bulldozers run till now after the court’s order? He asked as to why the bulldozer was not used against the illegal hotel in Lucknow where people died due to fire, despite the announcement. The SP president said bulldozer was a symbol of injustice. After the results of the Lok Sabha elections, the CM has lost his sleep and was not letting the officials to sleep.
Does he know the full form of DNA?
Retorting to the statement of Yogi Adityanath that corruption was in their DNA, the former CM quipped, “does he know the full form of DNA. I’m sure he does not know.” Akhilesh told reporters at party headquarters in Lucknow that instead of talking about DNA, it would have been better if the Chief Minister had named a power plant.
Blood Pressure increased due to the turmoil inside BJP
Reacting to Yogi Aditnath’s taunt about the “wolves” creating havoc in UP before 2017, like the wild animal was presently creating in some districts, Akhilesh Yadav said that if there was loot at that time, was the CM also involved in it? The officers who completed the recruitment process at that time were very much around him. Akhilesh also quipped that there was presently upheaval turmoil inside BJP, which had raised blood pressure levels. It would be better if the CM goes to Delhi, he advised.
