Ridiculing the new found SP-BSP bonhomie in Uttar Pradesh, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath today said some people have become “circus lions” and were surviving on “leftovers”. The chief minister targeted the opposition Samajwadi Party (SP) and the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) during the Budget discussion in the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Council. “Some people have become circus lions, who do not hunt, but survive on leftovers of others and remain glad as if it has got a prey. It will be good if, instead of becoming such type of lions, one trusts his self-respect,” he said without naming anybody. Adityanath also attacked ‘samajwad’ (the political ideology of the Samajwadi Party) on which SP members objected and requested the Chairman to expunge a particular word from the proceedings. “The country does not need ‘samajwad’, but ‘Ramrajya’,” he said in his address.
Hitting out at Adityanath, SP members said the word ‘samajwad’ (socialism) is there in the preamble of the Constitution and the chief minister should not say like this. “I know very much about this fake brand. This brand was seen in Germany as ‘Naziwad’ and in Italy as fascism. Have we not seen it’s distorted form as ‘gundaraj’ (hooliganism) in UP?” he asked.
