"If Yogi Adityanath Is Removed...": BJP Former Legislator Takes A Swipe

"I cannot call 'tezaab' (acid) 'amrit' (nectar)," Ram Iqbal Singh said, apparently referring to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath

BJP state executive member and former MLA Ram Iqbal Singh today took a dig at Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, suggesting that if he is removed from the post of chief minister, he will go back to being a monk.

"I cannot call 'tezaab' (acid) 'amrit' (nectar)," he said, apparently referring to the Chief Minister who is also the head priest of the Gorakhnath Temple in Gorakhpur.

"If Yogi Adityanath is removed from the chief minister's post, he will immediately become angry and become a sadhu," Mr Singh said in Nagra area.

He also targeted the Narendra Modi government over the plight of the farmers saying the cost of farming has increased a lot because of inflation.
