What if UP becomes Kerala, asks Yogi Adityanath. Pinarayi Vijayan gives an answer

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said Yogi Adityanath is afraid that if Uttar Pradesh becomes like Kerala, it would enjoy 'the best education, health services, social welfare.'

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has said Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is afraid that if Uttar Pradesh becomes like Kerala, it will enjoy the best education, healthcare facilities and 'people won't be murdered in the name of religion and caste.'

He tweeted, "If UP turns into Kerala as @myogiadityanath fears, it will enjoy the best education, health services, social welfare, living standards and have a harmonious society in which people won't be murdered in the name of religion and caste. That's what the people of UP would want."

Earlier in the morning, in a video message, Yogi Adityanath had said, “My only worry is that these people are trying to form the government. If you give in to what they’re saying, my five years of work will go to waste and UP will become like Kashmir, Bengal and Kerala. Your vote will be the guarantee for your good life ahead.”

In his six-minute-long video addressed to his ‘voting brothers and sisters’ on Twitter, he repeatedly stated that he was not “here to ask for your votes”, interspaced with a list of his government’s achievements.

“It’s time for a big decision. In the last five years, the BJP’s double engine government has done everything with commitment and fulfilled its promises keeping your trust in mind. A lot has happened in five years 24 hour electricity has reached all houses in all villages for the first time, bathrooms have been made for cleanliness as well as dignity of women, sturdy homes have been built, piped water has reached homes, expressways have been built,” CM Yogi Adityanath said.
