A day after , Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Saturday were embroiled in a verbal spat on the announcement. Mr. Adityanath termed the Punjab government’s decision of declaring its only Muslim-majority town as a district “a reflection of the divisive policy of the Congress”, Capt. Singh hit back saying Mr. Adityanath‘s remark was an attempt to incite communal hatred in the peaceful State as part of the BJP’s divisive policies. Captain Singh asked the U.P. Chief Minister to stay out of his State’s affairs, which he said are in much better shape than those in U.P. under the divisive and destructive BJP government that has been actively promoting communal discord for the past over four years.More Related News
