LUCKNOW: Chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday remarked that the claims made by Samajwadi Party president and leader of opposition Akhilesh Yadav about his previous government were no more than “sweet talks” which politicians deliver in an election rally.
“I am surprised. This is an assembly where members need to speak about the ground realities,” he said, while speaking on the floor of the House during the vote of thanks to the governor. “ Nazar nahi hai. . . nazaaron ki baat karte hain. . . zameen pe chand sitaron ki baat karte hain. . . Wo hath jod kar basti ko lootne wale. . . bhari sabha mein sudharon ki baat karte hain (Those with no eyesight talk about spectacle as well as the moon and stars on the earth; those who loot people with folded hands discuss reforms in full assembly) ,” Yogi recited the couplet, amid loud applause from the treasury benches.
