New Delhi: With just a few days left for the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections to take place,the political sphere of UP is witnessing new developments everyday. On Sunday, Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati took to Twitter to take a dig at Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath over his monastery in Gorakhpur. The BSP supremo wrote that Adityanath’s monastery in Gorakhpur is “no less than a big bungalow.”

“Probably people from Western U.P. do not know that the monastery built by Yogi ji in Gorakhpur, where he resides most of the time, is no less than a big bungalow. It would have been better if he had told about this as well,” she tweeted.

1. शायद पश्चिमी यू.पी. की जनता को यह मालूम नहीं है कि गोरखपुर में योगी जी का बना मठ जहाँ वो अधिकांश निवास करते हैं, वो कोई बड़े बगंले से कम नहीं है। यदि इस बारे में भी यह बता देते तो बेहतर होता। 1/3

She further said that it would have been better had the Chief Minister mentioned the work done by her government in favour of the public. "Also, it would have been better if the Chief Minister of UP, along with the praise of his government, had also mentioned the works related to the public interest of the BSP government because they should know that the cases of giving houses to the poor and land to the landless, the record of the BSP government has been excellent."

Yogi Adityanath responded to Mayawati’s remark with the allegation that has been raised against her of using a government sanctioned aircraft to order expensive shoes. “On one hand, Chief Minister Shri @myogiadityanath ji Maharaj dedicated the government aircraft to protect the lives of the people of the state during the Corona period.On the other hand, sandals were ordered from the government plane, misusing the state resources for personal splendor. The difference is clear!,” tweeted the official Twitter handle of the office of Yogi Adityanath. 

He then asked Mayawati to visit the Gorakhpur Monastery and said that she will find peace there. “The memories of sages-saints and revolutionaries of freedom movement have been preserved in Shri Gorakshapeeth, the Tapobhoomi of Baba Gorakhnath ji. There are temples of Hindu gods and goddesses. This center of 'Social Justice' is working for the welfare of all. Come sometime, there will be peace,” the official handle tweeted. 

बहन जी!

बाबा गोरखनाथ जी की तपोभूमि गोरखपुर स्थित श्री गोरक्षपीठ में ​ऋषियों-संतों एवं स्वतंत्रता आंदोलन के क्रांतिवीरों की स्मृतियों को संजोया गया है। हिन्दू देवी-देवताओं के मंदिर हैं।

'सामाजिक न्याय' का यह केन्द्र सबके कल्याण हेतु अहर्निश क्रियाशील है।

कभी आइए, शांति मिलेगी।
