New Delhi: Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav once again hit out at Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath over the Lakhimpur Kheri case.


Taunting the Chief Minister, he asked when he would take his “favourite bulldozer” to Lakhimpur Kheri.


“The minister (MoS Ajay Kumar Mishra ‘Teni’) should be suspended by the government. The Chief Minister’s most favourite thing is bulldozer. He should tell when he would take his favourite bulldozer to Lakhimpur,” Akhilesh Yadav said.






Opposition leaders have intensified their attack against the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) at Centre and in Uttar Pradesh after the Special Investigation Team probing Lakhimpur Kheri violence termed it as a “pre-planned conspiracy”.

Reacting to the development, Akhilesh Yadav had said it is now clear that Ashish, who is the son of Minister of State for Home Affairs Ajay Kumar Mishra, was involved in the incident and demanded the resignation of the minister. 


“After investigation, it is now clear that MoS Home’s (Ajay Mishra) son (Ashish) was involved in this incident. The Union minister should resign and strict action should be taken against the accused,” Yadav had told ANI earlier. 


He had demanded the removal of the minister, saying: “As elections approach, BJP wears religious spectacles and sees everything on the basis of religion...BJP should suspend their MoS Home (Ajay Mishra)”. 


“From day one, we have been saying that it is a pre-planned murder. Modi government should suspend (MoS) Ajay Mishra. I am very sure that PM will not suspend him because he needs that minister’s upper caste votes in upcoming UP polls,” the former UP chief minister alleged.
