Opp slams Adityanath for 'enjoying' laser show in Gorakhpur when violence rocked Bulandshahr

Opposition parties attacked Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath Tuesday, saying he was "enjoying" a laser show and presenting kabaddi prizes in Gorakhpur when Bulandshahr was rocked by violence.

Demanding Adityanath's resignation, the Samajwadi Party (SP) and the Congress deplored him for attending the events rather than promptly reviewing the law and order in the state in the wake of the violence on Monday.

Inspector Subodh Kumar Singh, who had probed the Akhlaq lynching case initially, and a 20-year-old local had died of gunshot injuries on Monday as a rampaging mob protesting alleged cow slaughter torched a police post and clashed with the cops in Bulandshahr.

UPCC spokesperson Ashok Singh said, "Instead of enjoying a laser show and later giving away prizes at a kabbadi event in Gorakhpur, Adityanath should have been in Lucknow."
Echoing similar views, SP spokesperson Sunil Singh Sajan said, "Adityanath was seen in the midst of 'light, camera and action' in Gorakhpur last night."
