Replying to SP chief Akhilesh Yadav’s statement where he said that he should be ashamed, UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath lashed out at the at the leader during a debate in the state legislative assembly on Saturday. Replying to SP chief Yogi Adityanath said that it’s not him who should be ashamed but Yadav, who could not even respect his own father.
The war of wards started in the assembly over the killing of BSP MLA Raju Pal’s murder’s key witness Umesh Pal, who was shot in broad daylight at Prayagraj on Friday.
The video of the spat between CM Yogi Adityanath and Akhilesh Yadav went viral on social media. The budget session in the assembly has been dominated by intense arguments over Friday’s murder of the prime eyewitness in the 2005 murder of a BSP MLA.
The opposition parties, including the SP chief, attacked the state government over the incident. Adityanath, while speaking on the issue, attempted to corner the SP.
“It was the Samajwadi Party that nurtured and protected the mafia, Atiq Ahmed, and now they are pointing a finger at us. Mafia ko mitti mein mila doonga (will finish the mafias). The Prayagraj incident is very sad, the guilty will not be spared,” the CM said on Saturday.
Adityanath further said his government had “zero tolerance policy” against mafia and crime, and the government will act under this policy in the Prayagraj case as well.
The CM further said that “Those who are involved in the incident, were they not nurtured and protected by the Samajwadi Party? The party made him (Atiq Ahmed) an MP,” he said.
