Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav has likened Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to an infiltrator, saying he is from Uttarakhand and should be sent back to the state.
According to media reports , While speaking to reporters at Lohia Park in Lucknow , on the death anniversary of Ram Manohar Lohia, Yadav said the BJP has fake statistics. “If one is to believe their statistics, they would be lost,” he added.
“People who are giving the statistics of exodus… We also have infiltrators in UP. The chief minister is from Uttarakhand. We want him to be sent to Uttarakhand. He is not the only infiltrator; he is also an infiltrator from the ideological point of view,” Yadav claimed.
The SP chief added, “He (Adityanath) was not a member of the BJP; he was a member of another (party). So, when will these infiltrators be removed?”
Yadav’s remarks come days after Union Home Minister Amit Shah claimed some political parties treat infiltrators as a vote bank and questioned why infiltration does not take place along the Gujarat and Rajasthan borders.
Yadav had come to Lohia Park to pay tributes to Ram Manohar Lohia on his death anniversary. He said that Dr Lohia fought against injustice and irresponsibility throughout his life.
