Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav on Thursday took a swipe at Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, referring to him as ‘Tees Maar Khan’.
Yadav claimed that the CM has a particular fondness for the number thirty, frequently using it in various contexts.
His remarks came in response to the local administration’s decision to cover several mosques with tarpaulin sheets ahead of the Holi festival.
The move aims at maintaining communal harmony and preventing any untoward incidents during the celebrations.
The SP chief emphasized that festivals have always been a shared celebration among all communities.
At a press conference, Akhilesh Yadav stated, “I extend my heartfelt greetings on the occasion of Holi to people of the country. This is a festival of colours which brings joy and happiness. We wish that the Ganga-Yamuna tradition of our country flourishes and people lives together with brotherhood as they have lived since many years. People from all communities have celebrated all festival together. We are connected through festivals and businesses associated with it.”
“On the other hand, our Chief Minister is Tees Maar Khan, because he loves the number of thirty. The number of people died was 30, the economic activity amounted to Rs 30 crores. Nobody can give us the account of Tees Maar Khan except our Chief Minister,” the SP chief further asserted.
On the issue of demolitions, Yadav pointed out that despite repeated directives from the Supreme Court, the government continues its actions.
Additionally, he expressed hope that the judiciary would deliver justice.
“The Supreme Court has given directions various times. they have given many important observations on the bulldozer action from time to time. Still, the government is not ready to listen. I hope that the Supreme Court will give justice. Even the people are noticing that Constitution is not safe under BJP rule,” the SP chief said.
Predicting BJP’s downfall, Yadav asserted that the party would suffer a severe defeat in the 2027 Uttar Pradesh assembly elections.
“Many things are covered up to hide other things. CM Yogi is saying that the youth got employment by riding their bikes in Prayagraj. If it is so, the, when did government decide to use personal vehicle as commercial? Does this mean that now after 144 years these youths will get employment? No one lies more than the BJP and from time to time some of their allies also support them. They lost in 2024 Lok Sabha elections but they will lose very badly in 2027 elections,” the SP chief said.
