The Congress on Friday attacked Yogi Adityanath over Hindu Yuva Vahini’s reported announcement of Rs 10 million bounty on Punjab minister Navjot Singh Sidhu’s head, alleging that the Uttar Pradesh chief minister was behaving like “Aurangzeb”, and asked whether a “Talibani system” will prevail in the country.
The Hindu Yuva Vahini, a right-wing group founded by Adityanath, reportedly announced a reward of Rs 10 million to anyone who beheads Sidhu.
Congress’ chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala, responding to a question, said: “Is democracy left in this country, or he (Adityanath) has now become the biggest Aurangzeb. Modi Ji behaves like Muhammad bin Tughlaq and Adityanath Ji behaves like Aurangzeb. So, will there be rule of law in this country, will the Constitution govern the country, or will there be open hooliganism, which we saw in Uttar Pradesh?”
