India Today
Taking a dig at Yogi Adityanath, SP chief Akhilesh Yadav said ‘Bulldozer Baba’ was leading Uttar Pradesh into anarchy and jungle raj.
Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav took a dig at Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday, saying that ‘Bulldozer Baba’ was leading the state in a wrong direction.
"Uttar Pradesh is in the grip of anarchy and jungle raj. This has been the situation for the last five years. With his hand on the steering of a bulldozer, the chief minister is chasing the opposition while criminals protected by power are wreaking havoc outside," Yadav said.
Yadav alleged that the BJP is adept at lying, and that it won the UP assembly elections through lies and deceit. Similarly, in the MLC polls, the BJP used undemocratic means to emerge victorious.

He demanded why Yogi Adityanath did not send his bulldozers to demolish the 'math' where the rape allegedly took place.
