Cong: Yogi is ‘Bulldozernath’

Lucknow: The Congress on Sunday sought to dub Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Aditynath as “Bulldozernath” or the lord of bulldozers, allegedly out to trample the dreams of youths.

The Congress made the allegation a day after the Lucknow police denied the party to hold a five-km race in the city as part of Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s ‘Ladki Hoon, Lad Sakti Hoon’ poll campaign.

It accused the chief minister of crushing the dreams of the girls who wanted to run the marathon. “This time, the antiwomen bulldozer of Yogi has run over the dreams of brave girls,” the Congress said in a tweet. With the party having been denied permission to hold the race in Lucknow, the race was held in Jhansi on Sunday.

Congress General secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra also slammed the UP government, saying girls won’t tolerate it and will fight for their rights.

In a Hindi tweet, Priyanka said, “Yogi Adityanath ji, you speak against the women by talking about controlling them. It is for this reason that you did not allow girls to participate in the marathon in Lucknow.” -(PTI)
