Lucknow The Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh has termed the Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav's criticism of the state's Covid management as "a figment of his imagination" and termed him as a 'Twitter Neta'.
UP government spokesperson and MSME minister Sidharth Nath Singh said that Akhilesh's statements are typical of a leader who does his politics from air-conditioned comfort of his drawing room without interacting with people.
"It is unfortunate that Yadav, perched on an ivory tower, did not bother to mention even one of many pro-people steps taken by the Yogi Adityanath government. Instead, he unsuccessfully tried to run down the popular government," Singh said.
He added that Yadav should display maturity. "Tweeting from his drawing room is an easy, but to become a mass leader, one needs to step out. Yogi Adityanath not only went to the people during Covid, but all through his tenure. It is no wonder that Samajwadi Party was dumped by people in 2017.
