Yogi Adityanath has insulted Lord Krishna, alleges Akhilesh Yadav

Samajwadi Party national president Akhilesh Yadav has made a serious allegation against Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, stating that by making alleged remarks against cowherds and Gopalaks, he has insulted Lord Krishna, information regarding which has been provided by the Press Trust of India (PTI). Ahead of the upcoming Uttar Pradesh assembly elections to be held in the year 2027, this controversy has intensified the political conflict between the SP and the BJP. Akhilesh Yadav made these allegations by sharing a post on the social media platform 'X' and also presented a video clip of the statement given by the Chief Minister during an event organized in Uttarakhand.

In this viral video clip, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had allegedly stated that had the people of the hilly state not been there, Akhilesh Yadav would have been grazing buffaloes in Saifai, his native village in Etawah district. Strongly criticizing this statement, Akhilesh Yadav stated that by using offensive language against Gopalaks, the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh has indirectly insulted Lord Gopal, that is, Lord Krishna himself, and this matter can never be forgiven. In his statement, Akhilesh Yadav also claimed that earlier, the Chief Minister himself was involved along with a large gang in the theft that occurred in the collection of gifts, donations, and funds received for the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya, and fearing that the truth might not come out, he gave those people a clean chit. Now they are directly attacking Lord Krishna and using such objectionable language to establish their own separate authority away from Sanatan Dharma, Yadav alleged.

The former Chief Minister also claimed that due to this very feeling of malice, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath got the people of the Pal community beaten with lathis in Varanasi. He further added that after removing the Shivling from the statue of Rajmata Devi Ahilyabai Holkar in Varanasi, her statue was subjected to extreme disrespect. Akhilesh Yadav described Ahilyabai Holkar as a great devotee of Lord Shiva belonging to the community of shepherds or goat-and-sheep rearers. Making a direct sarcasm without naming the Chief Minister in his 'X' post, Yadav wrote that he is neither a true devotee of Lord Shiva, nor of Lord Ram, nor of Lord Krishna, nor a true devotee of Devi Ahilyabai.

In addition to this, Akhilesh Yadav also made a clear reference to preacher Dhirendra Shastri, who is coming to recite religious discourses in Kunda, Pratapgarh, and addressed him as 'Dushmukhi'. He alleged that there are many similarities in the attire, language, and alleged remarks about Lord Ram and Lord Krishna of both Dhirendra Shastri and Yogi Adityanath. The Samajwadi Party chief also strongly criticized the proposed religious event, claiming that the BJP is inviting such people because the state's Chief Minister has become extremely weak politically.

Criticizing Yogi Adityanath's language, Yadav stated that we forgive him because he has no control over himself. A person who cannot control his own willpower and gets frequently restless all day, expecting control or balance in words from him is futile. He further added that the more your fear of defeat and frustration increases, the lower your language will sink.

Stating that the Chief Minister is frightened by the defeats in the elections of 2024 and 2026, Akhilesh Yadav mentioned the Lok Sabha and the recent MLC elections. He said that this is the reason why your speech has deteriorated and you will have to face permanent defeat in the year 2027. According to a PTI report, he added that had you been winning, you would have been talking about yourself and your achievements, not about us. The more abusive language you speak, the more horrific your defeat will be, because the 2027 election has now become a direct contest between five percent arrogant, dominant, and privileged people and 95 percent PDA.
