"They are worshippers of Jinnah, we are worshippers of Sardar Patel. Pakistan is dear to them, we sacrifice our life for Maa Bharati," Yogi Adityanath tweeted
Yogi Adityanath, targeting his main rival Akhilesh Yadav ahead of the Uttar Pradesh election, posted a tweet this morning calling the Samajwadi Party "worshippers of Jinnah" and supporters of Pakistan. वे 'जिन्ना' के उपासक है, हम 'सरदार पटेल' के पुजारी हैं।उनको पाकिस्तान प्यारा है, हम माँ भारती पर जान न्योछावर करते हैं।
"They are worshippers of Jinnah, we are worshippers of Sardar Patel. Pakistan is dear to them, we sacrifice our life for Maa Bharati (Mother India)," the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister tweeted, referring to Pakistan founder Mohammad Ali Jinnah.
Yogi Adityanath, who is seeking a second straight term in the election, has made deeply polarising comments like this in the run-up to an election that he and the BJP are determined to win.
