"Brother, Sister Enough To Push It Down": Yogi's Swipe At Congress
NDTV
When Yogi Adityanath said "the fight is now 80 versus 20", it was seen as implying a Hindu-Muslim divide in UP, where the population corresponds roughly to that ratio
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath took a swipe at Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra Monday - amid voting for the second phase of polls - declaring the brother-sister duo "are enough" to bring down their party and that the GOP "should be left to its fate".
"I went to Uttarakhand (to campaign for today's single-phase poll) and said... No one else needs to work on ending Congress... both siblings will do that themselves. I appealed to people... don't make Congress a burden on the people of Uttarakhand," Adityanath told news agency ANI.
Earlier, while campaigning in Uttarakhand's Pauri Garhwal, he had said: "Where there is little existence brother and sister are enough to push it down. So it should be left to its fate."
Adityanath also alleged conflict between Ms Gandhi Vadra, who has been at the forefront of the Congress' UP campaign and was, briefly, rumoured to be the chief ministerial face, and her brother.
