Political Heat in UP as akhilesh yadav Calls cm yogi an Infiltrator
SP Chief’s Statement
Samajwadi party (SP) President akhilesh yadav sarcastically referred to Uttar Pradesh chief minister yogi Adityanath as an infiltrator, escalating political tensions in the state.
Akhilesh’s Remarks
Akhilesh said there are infiltrators in UP, including cm Yogi, who is originally from Uttarakhand.
He suggested that such people should be sent back to their home state.
He also called yogi an ideological infiltrator, pointing out that Yogi was once part of a different party before joining BJP.
Akhilesh questioned when these "infiltrators" would be removed from UP politics.
Political Context
The statement comes after Union home minister amit shah claimed that some parties use infiltrators as a vote bank.
Shah also questioned why infiltration is not reported on Gujarat and rajasthan borders, indirectly criticizing parties like SP.
BJP’s Response
UP minister Kapil Dev Agarwal slammed Akhilesh, calling his statement “mental bankruptcy” and desperate.
Agarwal defended cm Yogi’s development work and dismissed Akhilesh’s comments as baseless.
He reminded that when Yogi’s guru was active, UP and uttarakhand were one state, emphasizing Yogi’s rightful place in UP politics.
Comparing yogi to infiltrators like Bangladeshis and Rohingyas was termed an act of intellectual bankruptcy by Agarwal.
Political Impact
The spat highlights the growing polarization and aggressive rhetoric ahead of elections.
Both parties appear to be using the sensitive issue of infiltration to target each other politically.
The debate intensifies questions about political loyalty, regional identity, and the handling of illegal immigration in UP.
This exchange is contributing to rising political heat in Uttar Pradesh’s already charged atmosphere.
