Uttar Pradesh chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has created a stir once again with his comments . At recent election rally he reportedly said that the Indian Army as ‘Modi ji ki sena’ (Modi’s army) . A comment that earned a flak from opposition leaders attacking the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister for ‘insulting and humiliating’ the force.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee slammed Yogi for his outrageous comments
It is shocking to hear the UP CM saying that the Indian Army is the ‘Modi Sena’. Such blatant personalisation and usurping of our beloved Indian Army is an insult and a humiliation 1/2

We are proud of our Army. They belong to all. They are a great asset of our nation, and not a cassette of the BJP. People of this country must stand up and reject this statement. 2/2

Amidst the opposition attack , the Election Commission has now asked the district magistrate of Ghaziabad to submit a report so that it can be checked whether there was any violation of Model Code of Conduct as it has already asked political parties to ‘desist’ during their Lok Sabha poll campaigns from indulging in any propaganda involving defence forces.
