Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday accused the Congress, RJD, and SP of “embracing” criminals and lampooned their party leaders – Rahul Gandhi, Tejashwi Yadav, and Akhilesh Yadav, calling them “Pappu, Tappu, and Appu – three new monkeys” of the INDIA bloc.Addressing back-to-back election rallies in Darbhanga, Muzaffarpur, Saran, and Patna, he said after the NDA returns to power in Bihar, it would “chase” infiltrators out and distribute their wealth among the poor in the state.
“Mahatma Gandhi’s three monkeys saw, heard, and spoke no evil. But now we have three monkeys of the INDI Alliance. The new monkeys are Pappu, who sees no good work done by NDA, Tappu, who cannot hear about it, and Appu, who will not admit to these while speaking,” he said.
Aditaynath alleged that the Congress, RJD, and SP were “embracing” criminals and allowing infiltrators, thereby compromising the state’s security.
After the NDA returns to power in Bihar, it would “chase infiltrators out of the state, and distribute their wealth among the poor”, he added. The UP CM alleged that the opposition was working to divide people in the name of caste and perpetuate riots.
Referring to the alleged misrule when the RJD was in power in Bihar, he said that “back then, ration shops got looted. Today, 80 crore people, including those in Bihar, are getting free ration”.
