Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath responded to Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav’s ‘after 2027 UP polls, all bulldozers will turn towards Gorakhpur’ remark on Wednesday and said not everyone could handle a bulldozer, it took brains and courage.
Speaking at an event to distribute government job appointment letters in Lucknow, the chief minister said, “Not everyone’s hands can fit on a bulldozer. Iske liye dil aur dimaag dodo chahiye (it takes both brains and courage). Bulldozer jaise shamta aur pratigya jismein ho wahi bulldozer chala sakta hai (One should have stamina and resilience).”
Akhilesh Yadav had, on Tuesday, claimed that his party would wipe out the BJP in UP in 2027. “Soon after the Samajwadi Party comes to power in the state, all the bulldozers will turn towards Gorakhpur,” he said, as per a statement issued by the party, without further elaborating on it.
According to the statement, while speaking to the party workers at the Lohia auditorium at the party’s state headquarters, Akhilesh said, “In the 2027 UP assembly polls, the BJP will be wiped out and those UP results will have consequences on the national politics.”
