They care only for their 'nani' in Italy: CM Adityanath on Rahul, Priyanka

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath attacked Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Sunday, saying their party only cared about their "nani in Italy".

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adiityanath on Sunday targeted Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, saying their party cared only for their siblings' “grandmother in Italy” when the country faced the coronavirus pandemic.

At a meeting here ahead of the assembly polls, the BJP leader also attacked Mayawati’s Bahujan Samaj Party and called the Samajwadi Party a “chacha-bhatija party”, an apparent reference to its president Akhilesh Yadav and his uncle Shivpal Singh Yadav.

The earlier governments in the state didn’t find time for development, the CM claimed.

“Developing Saifai (the SP home turf) was the only thing that mattered to the uncle-nephew party,” he said, referring to the period when Akhilesh Yadav was the chief minister.

For ‘behanji (Mayawati), the only issue was her nephew’s progress, he added.
