Opposition leaders have criticized Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for his recent remarks on the Babri Masjid, accusing the BJP of engaging in polarisation politics ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections. They argue that such actions divert attention from crucial issues like law and order, women’s safety, and governance.
Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav mocked Yogi Adityanath for his choice of language, suggesting that the Chief Minister should refrain from using Urdu words. He highlighted the BJP’s vulnerability when under political pressure, stating that their power weakens in such situations.
Additionally, Samajwadi Party MP Dimple Yadav criticized the BJP government for its governance failures in Uttar Pradesh. She pointed out the deteriorating law and order situation, incidents of crimes against women, and alleged land encroachments, emphasizing that the government is neglecting these pressing issues.
Congress MP Tariq Anwar dismissed the reopening of debates on settled matters like the Babri Masjid case, emphasizing that the Supreme Court has already made a decision on it. He condemned such discussions as futile and aimed at creating unnecessary controversies, especially with the elections approaching.
Congress MP Ujjwal Raman Singh labeled the BJP’s remarks as an “election stunt,” accusing them of relying on polarisation tactics for political gains. He urged the ruling party to prioritize the welfare of Uttar Pradesh residents and focus on developmental initiatives instead of diverting attention.
Samajwadi Party MP Virendra Singh criticized BJP leaders for emphasizing Hindu-Muslim issues over development and governance. He accused them of pursuing hidden agendas and neglecting the real needs of the people in Uttar Pradesh.
The Opposition’s strong reactions reflect the escalating political tensions as parties prepare for the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, with debates intensifying on governance, development, and social harmony.
