BJP supporters said it was for criminal elements who have been given tickets by the alliance in western Uttar Pradesh, especially Nahid Hasan in Kairana and Haji Yunus in Bulandshahr, Rashtriya Lok Dal supporters calling the chief minister’s statement against Jats. taken as a disrespect.
In response Mr. Jayant Singh said in Aligarh that “we are born hot and those who were trying to control them”. CharbI (fat) will peel off. RLD sources said that this is a reaction to the objectionable statement of the Chief Minister.
On Wednesday, Mr. Akhilesh Yadav objected to Mr. Adityanath’s language. It cannot be the language of the Chief Minister of any state. The Election Commission should look into this,” he said at a press conference in Shamli.
Observers said both the parties were trying to divert the voters’ attention from the real issues and the tone has turned aggressive in western Uttar Pradesh.
A BJP leader from the Jat community said, “The chief minister’s statement was inappropriate as it could have united the Jats in the region,” he said. However, a BKU leader said it would not affect the electoral equation as even a large section of Jats does not support criminal elements in the community. “They see this in the context of statements made by Nahid Hassan’s supporters, where they said that if Jats do not support Nahid in Kairana, Muslims will not vote for Prasan Choudhary of RLD in Shamli.”
