Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s ‘caution’ against “becoming Kashmir, Bengal and Kerala” has created a flutter in the political circles of the State with both the ruling and Opposition fronts taking umbrage, even as the State unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) justified the remarks.
In an unsparing riposte, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan tweeted: “If UP turns into Kerala as @myogiadiyanath fears, it will enjoy the best education, health services, social welfare, living standards and have a harmonious society in which people won’t be murdered in the name of religion and caste. That’s what the people of UP would want. (sic)”
