Mumbai: Congress leader Raj Babbar has reacted to UP CM Yogi Adityanath’s statement ‘If we divide, we will cut’. Raj Babbar said, ‘I was born in Uttar Pradesh and spent two-thirds of my life in Maharashtra. I am not with a culture that is dividing and cutting its land. We know what is the culture of Uttar Pradesh and what is the tradition of Maharashtra.
What else did Raj Babbar say?
Raj Babbar said, ‘I come from UP and bring the mentality and thought of UP which had Tilaked Shivaji Maharaj and Sambhaji. I came here from that culture. I am not from a culture that is dividing and cutting up its land.
Raj Babbar said, ‘I am a resident of Mathura. I was born in Agra. For Shivaji Maharaj, Mathura and Banaras are the places where Shambhaji was brought here to perform Tilak. He who was a great scholar at that time applied tilak on him. We know what is the culture of UP and what is the tradition of Maharashtra.
CM Yogi’s slogan in discussion
It is worth mentioning that Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has come into the center of discussion these days due to one of his slogans. During the assembly elections held in Haryana, he gave the slogan ‘If you divide, you will be divided’ and now echoes of this slogan are being heard in Jharkhand along with Maharashtra. How much of a stir Yogi’s slogan has created in the elections of both the states can be estimated from the reaction of the opposition leaders.
Finally, why has Yogi Adityanath stirred up opposition with his slogans? A simple answer to this could be the recently concluded assembly elections in Haryana. Yogi’s slogan certainly created a stir in Haryana and contributed to the BJP winning a losing battle. Yogi received public support when he raised the issues of Soren government’s corruption, protection of mafia, love jihad, land jihad and Bangladeshi infiltrators in his recent election rallies in Jharkhand. But the loudest applause in these meetings was on the slogan ‘If you divide, you will cut’. Political experts believe that seeing the reaction of the people on this slogan, there has been a stir in the opposition.
