Lucknow: In a seemingly sarcastic mood, former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Akhilesh Yadav launched a barrage of veiled attacks against the BJP government and accused them of exercising blatant bias when it came to state politics.
“The BJP does not consider me a Hindu. I think the first thing I should do after visiting a temple is tweet a photo of the same as a proof,” Akhilesh said on Saturday.
He further said that he was thinking he should start wearing colours according to the days. “I think I should wear colours according to days. On Monday, I should wear the colour supposed to be worn on the day…on Thursday, I should wear yellow. And on Sunday? I guess a t-shirt and a pair of shorts? That’s what is supposed to be worn on a Sunday. Right?” he said.
Taking a jibe at Chief Minister Adityanath’s brainchild “anti-Romeo squad”, Akhi-lesh quipped that many innocent men were also being beaten due to this.
“Nobody told the real story of Romeo. He had consumed poison. And today, God knows how many Romeos are being beaten up,” said Akhilesh.
Turning his head towards the heated issue of ban on cow slaughter, Akhilesh questioned the move of ban on cow slaughter only in Uttar Pradesh. — ANI
