Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday mounted a blistering attack on the opposition. Replying to the debate on the Governor's address, the Chief Minister slammed the opposition for raising objections over the Governor's delay of a few minutes in coming to the Assembly for her address on February 18.
"There should be respect for those occupying constitutional positions. They do not belong to one party but are above political lines. The tendency to attack such persons is a matter of concern," he said.In an obvious reference to the Samajwadi Party without taking its name, Yogi Adityanath said, "There is a new culture of wearing caps of different colours."Recalling an incident, he said at a function he once saw a two-year-old boy point towards a leader who was wearing a cap of a particular colour and saying, "Mummy, dekho wo goonda (look he is criminal)."
"Caps of different colours make the Vidhan Sabha look like a drama company," he said.The Chief Minister, without taking names, also criticized the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) over its allegations of a scam in the purchase of oximeters and PPE kits.
