Lucknow. UP assembly elections are next year. Before this, the politics of UP has heated up. UP CM Yogi Adityanath on Sunday participated in the felicitation ceremony of cooks preparing food in schools under PM Nutrition Mission. He fiercely targeted Samajwadi Party President and Kannauj MP Akhilesh Yadav. CM Yogi called Akhilesh Yadav a babua in the program. He also left no stone unturned in taking a dig at those who share photos of dilapidated buildings on social media.

Taking aim at Akhilesh Yadav, CM Yogi Adityanath said that CM Yogi said that there was never any issue in the agenda of Samajwadi Party. Samajwadi Party exploited the public for the interests of its family. CM Yogi said that during the tenure of SP, the lands of the poor were encroached upon, daughters were not safe at that time. Before 2017, poor children did not have basic facilities. Now children are being given uniforms, shoes and sweaters. He said that Babua has given a statement that all the people in our family are MPs. CM Yogi said that this is why Samajwadi Party exists. CM Yogi claimed that the people of UP will wipe out the Samajwadi Party forever in the assembly elections.
