Akhilesh Yadav calls UP CM Yogi Adityanath an 'Infiltrator,' says 'he should be sent...'

We also have infiltrators in UP: Akhilesh Yadav 

Speaking to reporters at Lohia Park in Lucknow on Sunday, on the death anniversary of Ram Manohar Lohia, Yadav said the BJP has fake statistics. "If one is to believe their statistics, they would be lost," he added.

"People who are giving the statistics of exodus... We also have infiltrators in UP. The chief minister is from Uttarakhand. We want him to be sent to Uttarakhand. He is not the only infiltrator; he is also an infiltrator from the ideological point of view," Yadav claimed.

The SP chief added, "He (Adityanath) was not a member of the BJP; he was a member of another party. So, when will these infiltrators be removed?"

Akhilesh Yadav hits at Yogi govt over Raebareli mob lynching case 

The Samajwadi Party leader had come to Lohia Park to pay tributes to Ram Manohar Lohia on his death anniversary. He said that Dr Lohia fought against injustice and irresponsibility throughout his life. "Today, we take a pledge to reach out to the people on the issues he raised, to make them aware, and to ensure economic and social dignity for everyone by walking on the path he showed. Dr Lohia had called for the caste system to be abolished," Yadav said.

On the Raebareli mob lynching case, he said, "If we look at NCRB data, it clearly shows the maximum atrocities against Dalits have taken place under this government. Recently, we saw how a young man from the Valmiki community was killed. There is large-scale injustice against Dalits and backward communities."

He added that the government's claim of zero tolerance has no impact on the ground. "The police, whose job is to maintain law and order, are busy filing false cases against political opponents. As a result, women remain unsafe."

He alleged, "The BJP wants to hide its failures, and the chief minister tells black lies while sitting at a white table... the white table on which he meets people. The truth is that the maximum harassment and other such serious incidents are taking place in UP. All limits of corruption have been broken. Corruption is in every department."

"The same government that once claimed it could reach Kanpur in 45 minutes is now protecting criminals," he said.

Yadav also said, "This park (Lohia Park) was built during Netaji's (Mulayam Singh Yadav) time. In this government, efforts are being made only to stop the work or ruin it."
