Yogi Adityanath Opposition leaders slam Yogi Adityanath over 'Kerala-Kashmir' remark ahead of UP 1st phase polls
New Delhi/UNI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and other Opposition leaders from other parties on Thursday slammed Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for his caution to the voters that the state will "become Kashmir, Kerala and Bengal if they make a mistake".
Launching a scathing attack at Yogi's comments, Rahul Gandhi said in a tweet, "There is strength in our Union. Our Union of Cultures. Our Union of Diversity. Our Union of Languages. Our Union of People. Our Union of States. From Kashmir to Kerala. From Gujarat to West Bengal. India is beautiful in all its colours. Don't insult the spirit of India."
There is strength in our Union.

Our Union of Cultures.
Our Union of Diversity.
Our Union of Languages.
Our Union of People.
Our Union of States.
From Kashmir to Kerala. From Gujarat to West Bengal. India is beautiful in all its colours.
Don’t insult the spirit of India.
Ahead of the first phase of the Assembly polls in UP, Adityanath posted a video on his Twitter handle and said, "I have to tell you something that is there in my heart. A lot of wonderful things have happened in these five years. Beware! If you miss, the labour of these five years will be spoiled."
UP will turn into Kashmir, Bengal or Kerala if BJP doesn't come to power, @myogiadityanath tells voters.

UP should be so lucky!! Kashmir's beauty, Bengal's culture & Kerala's education would do wonders for the place.
UP's wonderful: pity about its Govt.https://t.co/bn6ItSczm6
Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan also slammed the UP Chief Minister on Twitter.
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.

Opposition leader and senior Congress Legislator V D Satheesan also took to Twitter to take on Adityanath.
Dear #UP, vote to be like Kerala. Choose plurality, harmony, inclusive development to medieval bigotry. Keralites, Bengalis and Kashmiris are also proud Indians. #kerala #democracy #religiousharmony #UPElections2022
