NDTV
Rakesh Tikait has been routinely aiming at Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Prime Minister Narendra Modi in election season.
Farmer leader Rakesh Tikait, in his latest attacks on the ruling BJP in the middle of elections in Uttar Pradesh, referenced North Korea today and said voters must decide if they want a "second Kim Jong Un".
"People have to decide whether they want a Chief Minister and Prime Minister who represent the masses or whether they want a situation like (North Korea) - a second Kim Jong. We do not want a dictatorial government in any state. We want to appeal to people to utilise their votes wisely," Mr Tikait.
The farmer leader has been routinely aiming at Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Prime Minister Narendra Modi in election season.
Last week, he accused the BJP of conducting a polarising campaign in Muzaffarnagar - his hometown - and said it is "not a stadium for Hindu-Muslim marches."
