New Delhi: Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal indulged in a heated spat on Twitter on Monday evening after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s address in Lok Sabha. 

The tweet chain started when Kejriwal condemned the PM’s statement in parliament that the Delhi government led the people out of the state during the first wave of covid-19. 

“This statement of the Prime Minister is completely false. The country hopes that the Prime Minister will be sensitive to those who have suffered the pain of the Corona period, those who have lost their loved ones. It does not suit the Prime Minister to do politics on the sufferings of the people,” Kejriwal tweeted.

After this, Yogi Adityanath said that Kejriwal’s statement is condemnable and he should apologise to the whole nation, which led to heated comments from both sides.

“Listen Kejriwal, You forced the workers of UP to leave Delhi when the entire humanity was groaning due to the pain of Corona. Your government did an undemocratic and inhuman act like leaving even small children and women helpless on the UP border in the middle of the night. Call you a traitor or…” wrote Adiyanath on his Twitter handle.

सुनो केजरीवाल,

जब पूरी मानवता कोरोना की पीड़ा से कराह रही थी, उस समय आपने यूपी के कामगारों को दिल्ली छोड़ने पर विवश किया।

छोटे बच्चों व महिलाओं तक को आधी रात में यूपी की सीमा पर असहाय छोड़ने जैसा अलोकतांत्रिक व अमानवीय कार्य आपकी सरकार ने किया।

आपको मानवताद्रोही कहें या...

His tweet was responded to by Kejriwal in the same tone as he wrote, “Listen Yogi, You just let it be. Just like the dead bodies of the people of UP were flowing in the river and you were giving advertisements of your false applause in Times magazine by spending crores of rupees. I have never seen such a cruel and cruel ruler like you.”

प्रधानमंत्री जी का ये बयान सरासर झूठ है। देश उम्मीद करता है कि जिन लोगों ने कोरोना काल की पीड़ा को सहा, जिन लोगों ने अपनों को खोया, प्रधानमंत्री जी उनके प्रति संवेदनशील होंगे। लोगों की पीड़ा पर राजनीति करना प्रधानमंत्री जी को शोभा नहीं देता। pic.twitter.com/Dd4NsRNGCY

The heated spat did not stop here as Yogi posted another Tweet saying, “The electricity-water connection was cut and the sleeping people were picked up and sent to the UP border by buses. Announcement was made that buses are going for Anand Vihar, beyond that buses will be available for UP-Bihar. The UP government arranged buses for the migrant laborers and brought them back safely.”

He also said that Kejriwal has a knack for telling lies in the same Twitter thread. “Kejriwal has a knack for telling lies. When the whole country was battling a global pandemic like Corona under the leadership of the respected Prime Minister, Kejriwal showed the migrant laborers the way out of Delhi,” he wrote.
