‘Fight the election with the bulldozer as election symbol, you will have to form a separate party’, Akhilesh Yadav hits back at CM Yogi

A fierce verbal war was witnessed between UP CM Yogi Adityanath and SP chief Akhilesh Yadav. The debate that started over the bulldozer action reached to ‘blood pressure’, ‘map of the Chief Minister’s residence’ and ‘Tipu Sultan’. Both the leaders fired political arrows at each other. When Akhilesh said that after the formation of the SP government in 2027, the bulldozer will turn towards Gorakhpur. Then CM Yogi replied to this by saying that not everyone can set their hand on the bulldozer. After which the SP chief advised CM Yogi to keep the bulldozer as his election symbol.

Taking a jibe at CM Yogi Adityanath, Akhilesh Yadav wrote on ‘X’ – “If you and your bulldozer are so successful, then form a separate party and contest elections with the ‘bulldozer’ election symbol. Your illusion and pride will be shattered. Anyway, in your current situation, you are as good as ‘no’ even if you are in BJP. You will have to form a separate party, if not today then tomorrow.”

Attack and counter attack between Akhilesh and Yogi

Actually, Akhilesh Yadav was reviewing the work of the party’s Gorakhpur organization in the SP office. During this time, he gave a statement about the bulldozer action. He said that after the formation of the SP government in 2027, all the bulldozers of the state will be directed towards Gorakhpur. This reaction of Akhilesh came after the Supreme Court’s comment on the bulldozer action.

CM Yogi Adityanath retaliated on this statement of Akhilesh. He said that not every person can set his hand on the bulldozer. People who bow down to the rioters cannot do this. Akhilesh knows this. After this, CM Yogi further said that those ‘Tipu’ who used to loot before 2017 are now going to become ‘Sultan’.

What did Akhilesh say on this statement of Yogi?

At the same time, when Akhilesh Yadav was asked that you had asked to direct the bulldozers towards Gorakhpur, he said, “What is wrong in this? The court will decide what is illegal, but now the BJP decides what is illegal and what is legal. You are selective in that too. Do not go anywhere else. You will remember that a hotel in Lucknow caught fire without the map being approved. At that time the CM had said that the bulldozer will be used in 24 hours. I would like to know if the key of the bulldozer is lost. You go to LDA. Get the list, run bulldozers on all the illegal buildings.”

Responding to CM Yogi’s statement about power and brain, Akhilesh said that bulldozers do not have brains, they have steering. Akhilesh said that those who talk about bulldozers should tell whether the map of CM residence is approved. In response to a question, the SP chief said that his blood pressure has increased, now he should go and sit in Delhi.
