Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], November 3 : Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Jagdambika Pal on Monday repeated Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's remarks that the leaders of the INDI bloc are like the "three monkeys" who are blind, deaf, and mute to the development in Bihar.
"What he (CM Yogi Adityanath) has said is true. Pappu is not ready to understand anything Appu, Akhilesh Yadav, is not ready to accept the reality of Uttar Pradesh- the governance and development that exist here today, and Tappu is lost in a dream. Whatever he has said today is absolutely correct," Pal told ANI here.
Earlier today, the UP CM took a sharp jibe at the Mahagathbandhan alliance, saying that they have called in "three monkeys" to campaign for the alliance.
Taking a hit at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav, and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, the BJP leader said just like the three monkeys "speak no evil, hear no evil, see no evil", these leaders too are blind, deaf, and mute to the truth of the development which has taken place in Bihar.
"Just as Gandhiji had three monkeys, today the INDIA alliance brought in three monkeys in the name of Pappu, Tappu and Appu (Rahul Gandhi, Tejashwi Yadav, and Akhilesh Yadav. Pappu cannot speak the truth or say anything good. Tappu cannot see any truth, and Appu cannot hear the truth," Yogi Adityanath said during a public meeting at Keoti, Bihar.
Alleging the Mahagathbandhan to be colluding with the mafias in the state, Adityanath added, "These people cannot see the development done by the NDA people. These three people hug and mingle with the family mafias, and disrupt the security of the state."
The Keoti Assembly constituency is set to witness a four-way battle for the seat. As BJP's Murari Mohan Jha looks to retain his seat, there is RJD's Faraz Fatmi, and Jan Suraaj's Biltu Sahani, and AIMIM's Mohammad Anisur Rahman which are looking for an upset against the MLA. Before Jha, it was RJD's Fatmi who represented the seat, making the electoral contest a close contest as two familiar faces look to come back and represent the people of Keoti.
The Bihar assembly elections will be held in two phases on November 6 and 11. The results will be declared on November 14.
