‘Samajwadi Party is like a frog in well’: UP CM Yogi Adityanath criticizes party; says world is moving ahead but they remain confined to themselves | Lucknow News
NEW DELHI: During a 24-hour discussion on the ‘Vision Document 2047’, Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday criticized the Samajwadi Party, saying the party is like a frog in a well — while the world moves ahead, they remain confined to themselves.He remarked, “Your (Samajwadi Party) family development authority is also an example of this, they only know how to remain limited to themselves. Swami Vivekananda had said about this in his stories.”“The condition of Samajwadi Party is like that of a frog in a well. The world is moving ahead, but you only know how to remain confined to your families. And you want to do the same to Uttar Pradesh, ” Yogi added.CM Yogi further elaborated on his observations while discussing the Vision Document: “When we were holding discussions on this Vision Document, I observed 2-3 things. Every Assembly constituency should benefit from government schemes and witness development. A developed Uttar Pradesh can realize the dream of a developed nation. I observed that some were talking less about development and more about power.”The remarks underline the CM’s focus on development over political interests and highlight his vision for inclusive growth across all constituencies in the state.Earlier today, Yogi Adityanath also criticized the Congress on Partition Horrors Remembrance Day, calling the 1947 Partition a “dark chapter” resulting from appeasement politics that broke the unity of Sanatan Bharat and left deep scars on the nation, according to a press release. He credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi with reviving this forgotten history by declaring the day in 2021. “Today, the entire country mourns, remembering the horrors of August 14, 1947,” he said.He further accused the then Congress government of showing complete apathy towards the displaced. “No memorials were built, no museums established for Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, and Christians who were forced to leave their ancestral homes. Their suffering was erased from public memory,” he said.(With inputs from agencies)
