If UP Turns Into Kerala...: CM Pinarayi Vijayan Quips Over Adityanath's Remarks

The Kerala Chief Minister's response comes after Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath "cautioned" voters against the state becoming Kashmir, Kerala, and West Bengal.

New Delhi: Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Thursday responded to remarks by his Uttar Pradesh counterpart Yogi Adityanath, where the BJP leader has "cautioned" UP's voters against the state becoming Kashmir, Kerala, and Bengal.

Taking to Twitter, Pinarayi Vijayan: "If UP turns into Kerala as Yogi Adityanath fears, it will enjoy the best education, health services, social welfare, living standards and have a harmonious society in which people won't be murdered in the name of religion and caste. That's what the people of UP would want".

On Wednesday, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath urged the people of the state to vote for the BJP in the assembly election and said that their vote will decide the future of the state.

He "cautioned" the voters against the state becoming Kashmir, Kerala, and Bengal "if the voters make a mistake."

In a video shared by the Uttar Pradesh BJP on Twitter, Adityanath said, "I have to tell you something that is there in my heart. A lot of wonderful things have happened in these five years. Beware! If you miss, the labour of these five years will be spoiled. It would not take much time for Uttar Pradesh to become Kashmir, Kerala, and Bengal. Your vote is a blessing on my efforts of five years. Your vote will also be a guarantee of your fear-free life."
