Yogi Adityanath's comeback to Akhilesh Yadav's 'ideological infiltrator' remark

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath took a sharp dig at Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav over his 'ideological infiltrator' remark. Speaking at the Uttarakhand Mahotsav in Lucknow, Yogi said that without an Uttarakhandi woman in his life, Akhilesh would still be grazing buffaloes in Saifai, an apparent reference to his wife, Dimple Yadav. The exchange follows Akhilesh's controversial remarks about people from Uttarakhand, escalating the political war between the BJP and Samajwadi Party ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections
