Lucknow,

22 Dec (HS): Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav responded on Monday to

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's two 'namoone' in Delhi and

Lucknow barbs, alleging they were meant at BJP leaders and an open admission of

internal strife inside the governing party. The CM made the statements in the

state legislature while responding to the SP's claims about the unlawful sale

of codeine cough medication. There are two 'namoone' in the country: one in

Delhi and his counterpart in Lucknow. Whenever there is a dispute in the

country, these people flee. And I believe the same is occurring with your

'Babua', Adityanath remarked, referring to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi

and Yadav without using names.

In

response to the chief minister's speech, Yadav wrote on X that the statement

amounted to self-acceptance and demonstrated that the conflict between Delhi

and Lucknow had reached an unanticipated level. Self-admission! Nobody

anticipated the Delhi-Lucknow conflict to get to this stage. People in

constitutional positions should maintain at least some sense of propriety and

not go beyond the limits of decorum, remarked the former Uttar Pradesh

chief minister. He also chastised the ruling party, urging it not to publicize

internal divisions in public. BJP leaders should avoid exposing their party's

internal feuds. Yadav stated in the post that if someone takes offense, they

may be forced to flee.
