Yogi criticises Rahul’s divisive ‘aam’ baat

LUCKNOW: An ‘aam baat’ from Congress MP Rahul Gandhi snowballed into a political storm on Friday with UP CM Yogi Adityanath mincing no words in calling Gandhi divisive for having rejected UP’s famous mangoes.
On his way to a press conference, Gandhi was asked about his choice of mangoes. “I don’t like UP aams. I like Andhra’s. It is a matter of taste. Langda is doable. Dussheri is too sweet for me,” he said.
His rejection of UP’s produce did not sit well with the state’s CM. “Shri Rahul Gandhi ji, your taste is divisive. The entire country is aware of your divisive upbringing. The impact of disruptive values is so strong on you that you have reduced even the taste of fruits to regionalism. But remember, from Kashmir to Kanyakumari, the taste of India is one,” the CM tweeted in Hindi. BJP MP from Gorakhpur Ravi Kishan said Rahul did not like mangoes from UP and UP did not like Congress.
