New Delhi,UPDATED: Feb 18, 2022 14:56 IST
Slamming Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi over his ‘UP, Bihar ke bhaiya’ remark, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that the Congress and the Punjab CM are trying to divide the nation for votes.
Channi ignited a row after he said 'don't let UP, Bihar ke bhaiya enter Punjab'. His remark drew the BJP’s ire, with the party claiming that his comment is against the people of Bihar and UP. Channi later clarified that the comment was targeted at Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, but the comment has drawn sharp criticism from political leaders.
In an exclusive interview with India Today TV, UP CM Yogi Adityanath hit out at the Congress and Charanjit Singh Channi and said the party has "repeatedly betrayed the country in the name of Gandhi and Nehru."
“Jaatiwaad, kshetrawaad, bhashawaad, atankwaad, naxalwaad, (casteism, regionalism, linguism, terrorism, Naxalism), these are all the wounds given to India by the Congress. And Congress today is reaping what it sowed. For votebank, Congress wants to divide the nation," he said.
