New Delhi [India], March 26 (ANI): Samajwadi Party MP Dimple Yadav on Wednesday attacked Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath over his remarks that 'Akhilesh Yadav shouldn't teach us history' and said that digging old graves has become the policy of the Bharatiya Janata Party.
'If you see the development work done in Uttar Pradesh in the last 8 years, you will understand the real situation that exists now...Digging old graves has become the policy of the BJP. They (BJP leaders) make such statements to deflect attention from the real issues of inflation, unemployment, education facilities and others,' Dimple told reporters.
In an interview with ANI, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath attacked Congress ally and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav and said that those who praised Jinnah shouldn't teach us history.
'In our culture, it is said that the one who worships will become like that. We respect Ram, Krishna, Shiva, and worship them. So, in a way, their good qualities are also with us by their grace. Those (Opposition) who respect Aurangzeb and Babar will be able to see those qualities in them. People have seen it with their own eyes, and they will see it in the future as well. We know the history of those who glorify Jinnah. We remember that in this same Uttar Pradesh, we were joining the program of the run-up for the unity of the people's leader, Vallabhbhai Patel. We had invited all the people of the country for this. We invited the BJP and all the parties. On the one hand, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, who is the ideal of India's unity, is the symbol of the unity of India. We expressed our faith in him, and these people glorified Jinnah. So this is the same category; this is the same breed that worships Babar, Aurangzeb, and Jinnah,' CM Adityanath said.
'So what will be their feelings towards the country? What will be their feelings towards India's heritage? What will be their feelings towards the great men of India? This can be seen from this. And these people are opportunistic,' he added.
In November 2021, the Samajwadi Party chief had said, 'Sardar Patel, Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru and (Muhammad Ali) Jinnah studied in the same institute and became barristers. They helped (India) get freedom and never backed away from any struggle.' (ANI)
