Akhilesh Yadav, the leader of Samajwadi Party, criticized Yogi Adityanath and the BJP government, stating that a 'yogi' is defined by actions rather than attire. He highlighted the negative impacts of demonetization, accusing the government of power abuse and corruption. He suggested upcoming bypoll strategies to counter BJP's tactics.

In a stark critique, Samajwadi Party head Akhilesh Yadav targeted Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday, emphasizing that being a 'yogi' is not about appearances but about one's deeds and words.

During an event marking the birth anniversary of 'Khajanchi,' Yadav underscored the failures of demonetization, calling it a 'cosmetic exercise' and a symbol of corruption and repression. He likened its lingering impact to a 'slow poison' affecting various social classes.
