Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday mounted an intense attack on Samajwadi Party national president Akhilesh Yadav for his comments on Pakistan. Yogi in a tweet said that while the BJP is the follower of Sardar Patel’s principles, the SP leader is the worshiper of Pakistan\u2019s founder Muhammad Ali Jinnah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The SP\u2019s are worshipers of Jinnah, we are worshipers of Sardar Patel. Pakistan is dear to them, we sacrifice our lives on Maa Bharati,” the firebrand BJP leader tweeted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Akhilesh Yadav is facing a barrage of criticism from the BJP leaders for his comments that Pakistan is a “political enemy” which is targeted by the BJP for “vote politics”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Wednesday, senior BJP leader and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said that issues of sugarcane farmers should be raised and not Jinnah. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I do not know why Pakistan\u2019s founder Jinnah\u2019s name is often invoked during elections. Those who want to politicise this\u2026 in UP\u2019s politics, Jinnah\u2019s name should not be invoked. Instead, we should talk of farmers,” he said in Ghaziabad during the party’s door-to-door campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Polls in Uttar Pradesh will be held in seven phases beginning February 10. Counting is slated for March 10. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
