'Send Yogi Adityanath back to his mutt': Mayawati to voters in Gorakhpur

Appealing to voters in Gorakhpur, BSP chief Mayawati said, “Send Yogiji back to his mutt, to his family. He had made big promises but the implementation was negligible." 

New Delhi: In a sharp attack on Yogi Adityanath, Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati on Saturday (February 26) asked voters to send the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister to his mutt in Gorakhpur. 

Accusing the UP CM of a “casteist” mindset, the BSP supremo said he did not focus on the development of SC/ST community, further alleging that Adityanath holds grudge against the Muslims. 

Addressing a rally in Gorakhpur, the former UP CM said, “Send Yogiji back to his mutt, to his family. He had made big promises but the implementation was negligible. Due to his casteist narrow-mindedness, he ignored the development of the SC/ST community and extremely backward people.” 

"He didn't focus on the development of the Muslim community and owing to a feeling of enmity towards the Muslims, he made efforts to destroy them after framing them in fake cases," she added. 

Notably, the BJP has fielded Adityanath in the ongoing Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections from Gorakhpur Urban Assembly seat, which will vote in the sixth phase of the elections on March 3.
