Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Friday mocked Yogi Adityanath for his "Muslim League is a virus" remark, wondering whether the Uttar Pradesh chief minister has been affected by one and said the firebrand Hindutva leader "does not know anything".
"He talks of virus. He doesn't know anything. He only knows how to betray people," Yadav told reporters when asked about the remark.
In a tweet this morning, Adityanath said "Muslim League is a virus" and the principal opposition party, the Congress, has been affected by it.
He urged people to "think" about the consequences of the Congress wining the general election. "This virus will spread in the entire nation."
Asked about the BJP fielding Bhojpuri actor Dinesh Lal Yadav "Nirahua" against him, Yadav said, "We have affection and attachment with people of Azamgarh. They will not get trapped in the conspiracy of BJP."
