U.P. Assembly polls | Vote BJP to prevent U.P. from becoming Kashmir, West Bengal or Kerala, says CM Yogi Adityanath

His appeal to voters draws sarcastic retort from CPI(M)

It will not take much time for Uttar Pradesh to become Kashmir, West Bengal or Kerala, if Uttar Pradesh voters commit a lapse, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has said on the eve of the polling for the first phase of the Assembly election.

His appeal to voters on Wednesday evening through jibes at other States, including two ruled by non-BJP parties, did not go down well with the (CPI-M).

"Kerala has consistently ranked as the best governed State and U.P. one the worst governed States. CM Yogi urging voters to vote BJP out to become like Kerala," the CPI(M) tweeted.
