In a recent incident during his political tour to Ajaygarh in Madhya Pradesh, Akhilesh Yadav, the president of the Samajwadi Party, strongly reacted to a journalist’s inquiry about being labeled a “Tonti Chor” (tap thief) by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath back in 2018.
Verbal Exchange with Journalist
During the interaction, the journalist, introducing himself as Noor Qazi, questioned Yadav about Yogi Adityanath’s statement. In response, Yadav accused the journalist of being a BJP agent and challenged him, saying, “You are not a journalist; you are a BJP agent. What is your name? Take a photo of this journalist.”
Religious Angle Introduced
As the journalist defended his identity, revealing himself as a Muslim named Noor Qazi, Akhilesh Yadav injected a religious angle into the conversation. He remarked, “You are a Muslim. Do Muslims have such a language? This is wrong. I don’t know whether you are a journalist or not…When I vacated the CM residence, the BJP had got it washed with Gangajal.”
