Akhilesh Yadav Hits Back at Adityanath’s ‘DNA’ Remark
Akhilesh Yadav criticizes CM Yogi Adityanath over his ‘DNA’ comment, calling it divisive rhetoric. Yadav urges focus on real issues affecting the people of Uttar Pradesh.
Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav sharply criticized Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for his recent "DNA" jibe, calling it an attempt to divert attention from pressing issues in the state. The comment, made by Adityanath during a political rally, suggested that those with a "different DNA" were responsible for disrupting the state’s harmony—a statement Yadav deemed as unnecessarily divisive.
In a press conference, Akhilesh Yadav accused the Chief Minister of resorting to such rhetoric to mask the government’s failures in addressing the real concerns of the people. "Instead of talking about development, jobs, and farmers' issues, the Chief Minister is more interested in creating division among the people," Yadav remarked. He urged the state government to focus on governance rather than engaging in what he described as “polarizing” statements.
Yadav further emphasized that Uttar Pradesh's progress depends on unity and inclusiveness, not on separating people based on their lineage or background. He highlighted that such comments distract from the state's dire need for better infrastructure, healthcare, and employment opportunities.
The political spat has sparked reactions across the spectrum, with many urging a shift in discourse towards constructive debate. As elections approach, the exchange between the two leaders is likely to intensify, but Yadav called for a campaign centered on issues that matter to everyday citizens, rather than on inflammatory remarks.
