UP CM Yogi Adityanath and Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah trade barbs on Twitter

NEW DELHI: Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath, who was in Karnataka to campaign for the upcoming assembly polls, was greeted with a sarcastic Twitter message from CM Siddaramaiah.

Siddaramaiah said Yogi Adityanath can learn a lot from Karnataka and asked him to visit Indira Canteen.

"I welcome UP CM Shri @myogiadityanath to our state. There is a lot you can learn from us Sir. When you are here please visit a Indira Canteen & a ration shop. It will help you address the starvation deaths sometimes reported from your state. #YogiInBengaluru," tweeted Siddaramaiah.

CM Siddaramaiah probably thought his tweet would make CM Yogi speechless. However, CM Yogi countered Siddaramaiah with an even more brutal reply.

"Thank you for the welcome @siddaramaiah ji. I heard number of farmers committing suicide in Karnataka was highest in your regime, not to mention the numerous deaths and transfer of honest officers. As UP CM I am working to undo the misery and lawlessness unleashed by your allies," tweeted Yogi.

Karnataka is currently under the Congress rule and the BJP is leaving no stone unturned to wrest power back in the state. The state will go to polls later this year.
