NDTV
As the poll dates come closer, the political atmosphere in Uttar Pradesh is charged with slogans and metaphors.
Taking a jibe at Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav on Thursday said that the BJP leader is under a lot of "pressure" due to the fear of a historic defeat in the upcoming state assembly polls. जब हमने उनको कहा ‘कम्प्रेसर' तो वो समझे ‘कम प्रेशर' … बाबा जी गलत समझ रहे हैं… सच तो ये है कि ऐतिहासिक हार के डर से वो ‘बहुत प्रेशर' में हैं… pic.twitter.com/KhdgxIYofJ
Taking to Twitter, Akhilesh Yadav said, "When we told him 'compressor', he understood 'low pressure'. Baba ji is misunderstanding... the truth is that he is under a lot of 'pressure' due to the fear of a historic defeat."
Mr Yadav and Yogi Adityanath have been attacking each other with verbal metaphors ahead of the Uttar Pradesh assembly polls. Mr Yadav is being referred to as "babua" in poll rallies of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) while Chief Minister Yogi is being jabbed as "Babaji" by the SP president.
