Samajwadi Party president was reacting to UP CM Yogi Adityanath’s “abba jaan” remark
Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav on Tuesday targetted Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for his “abba jaan” jibe, saying the BJP leader changed his language as the saffron party was destined to be “wiped out” in 2022 polls.
“The BJP is destined to go. That’s why the ‘mukhiya’ [head] of the government has changed his language. The people want change and prosperity,” Mr. Yadav stated at a press conference here.
Though he did not directly mention the “abba jaan” remarks made by Mr. Adityanath on Sunday, Mr. Yadav referred to the Chief Minister’s trip to Kushinagar where he made the controversial comment.
