At a party event in UP's Etawah, Yogi Adityanath asked BJP supporters to ensure the "leaders who sat at home during Covid should be made to remain there" in the elections.

"I was among you when Covid was at its peak. If you remember, I came here twice amid the pandemic to monitor the situation and meet with frontline health professionals," the Chief Minister said and raised his hands, to which the crowd cheered, in a video by news agency ANI.

"But leaders of other parties were in home isolation. So they have a right to remain at home even during the elections. Make sure they stay at home," Yogi Adityanath told the audience, who clapped and cheered again.
