Will make Azam Khan the Home Minister, that means he wants to create riots again… CM Yogi Adityanath furious at Shivpal’s statement


Once again the war of words has intensified in the politics of Uttar Pradesh. On the statement of senior Samajwadi Party leader Shivpal Yadav in which he had said that Azam Khan will be made the Home Minister if the government is formed in the state, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has made a very sharp counterattack. Taking a direct aim at the Samajwadi Party and its leadership, the Chief Minister said that such statements clearly show their mentality and that they want to create riots in the state once again after coming to power. During a program organized in the capital Lucknow, CM Yogi fiercely attacked the ideological stance of SP and said that the public understands their intentions very well.

Shivpal Yadav’s statement heats up political atmosphere in UP

This whole controversy started when Samajwadi Party’s national general secretary and MLA Shivpal Yadav made a big political statement after meeting senior leader Azam Khan, who was lodged in Rampur jail. While talking to the media, Shivpal Yadav claimed that in the upcoming assembly elections, Samajwadi Party will form the government with full majority, Akhilesh Yadav will become the Chief Minister and senior party leader Azam Khan will be made the Home Minister of the state. After this statement of Shivpal came to light, the stir in the political circles of Uttar Pradesh intensified and along with the opposition parties, the ruling party BJP also started taking it to task. Political analysts believe that through this statement, SP is trying to give a message to its traditional Muslim vote bank that the party stands firmly with its leaders in every situation.

Strong attack from CM Yogi, said- SP is promoting rioters and anti-national forces

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, while addressing a seminar organized on the occasion of ‘Partition Vibhishika Memorial Day’, took a sharp dig at this ideological character of Samajwadi Party without taking anyone’s name. CM Yogi said that those who create universities in the name of the people responsible for the partition of the country and support them, today the same party is talking big in their favor. Adopting an aggressive attitude, the Chief Minister said, ‘These people are saying that when the government comes to power, they will make him the Home Minister, which directly means that these people want to create an atmosphere of riots and anarchy in the state once again’. Referring to the tenure of the previous governments, he alleged how earlier the rioters were given the protection of power and were honored by calling them to the residence of the then Chief Ministers.

Big attack on law and order and politics of appeasement

During his address, the Chief Minister strongly attacked the politics of the opposition and said that the people of Uttar Pradesh have seen that dark period of fear, terror and riots very closely during the previous governments. The rule of law has been established in the state for the last few years under the BJP government and no miscreant or rioter has been spared. CM Yogi said that today Uttar Pradesh is moving rapidly on the path of development, security and good governance, but the statements of some opposition leaders clearly reflect their old mentality and divisive thinking. He appealed to the public to recognize those forces who want to make their political gains by disturbing the peace and order of the state.

Heat increases in UP politics before 2027 elections

As the time for the next assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh is approaching, the arrows of statements between political parties are also becoming sharper. Shivpal Yadav’s statement and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s strong counterattack on it have made it clear that the politics of the state is going to be more aggressive in the coming days. On one hand, Samajwadi Party is adopting a vocal stance to settle its equations and strengthen its hold among Muslim voters, while on the other hand, BJP is adopting an aggressive stance by keeping the issues of security, nationalism and law and order at the forefront. This rhetoric seems to be setting the main agenda of the upcoming election battle.
