Uttar Pradesh finance minister Suresh Khanna terms CM Yogi Adityanath as ‘Rajneeti ke Ram’

LUCKNOW: UP minister for finance and parliamentary affairs, Suresh Khanna, on Wednesday termed Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath as ‘Rajneeti ke Ram’ (Lord Ram of politics). Khanna made the remark when the leader of opposition Ram Govind Chaudhary objected to the finance minister’s speech during the presentation of the supplementary budget and termed it against the rule and tradition.
Khanna’s remark left Chaudhary surprised even as the treasury bench erupted in loud cheer and thumping of tables in appreciation and the chief minister, who was sitting next to Khanna, smiled. Earlier, when Chaudhary opposed Khanna claim that his government had created several records, he was interrupted by the members of treasury benches.
In the meantime, Khanna stood up and pointing towards CM Yogi, said: “Manyawar yeh to rajneeti ke Ram hain, yeh aasuri shaktiyon ko parajit karne ke liye yahan baithe hue hain (Dear sir, he is the Ram of politics who is here to defeat the evil forces).”
Chaudhary stood in silence for a few seconds and said, “He is not a sage by political standards but the head of Acharya Peeth.”
