Akhilesh's "narrow-minded' statement due to "depression": BJP

Lucknow: Former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav is being lashed out at for his “insensitive” martyr remark. While condemning Akhilesh, Bharatiya Janta Party said “Akhilesh is still in depression post Samajwadi Party defeat in the Assembly elections”. "It is a very unfortunate, narrow-minded comment. I think Akhilesh Yadav is still in depression or shock after his party’s loss in the UP Assembly polls. It is very condemnable that the brave efforts of our soldiers have been divided on religious lines," BJP leader Nalin Kohli said. Speaking on Kohli’s lines, BJP leader Harish Srivastava said it was embarrassing to hear of a leader speaking about the Armed Forces in this manner, adding that they protect the whole country, and cannot be divided based on religion or region. Akhilesh faced massive criticism after he questioned why soldiers from all parts of the country were sacrificing their lives, except for those hailing from Gujarat. "Many soldiers from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, and even from southern India have sacrificed their lives for the country, but do tell me if any soldier from Gujarat has done so?" Akhilesh asked. Akhilesh’s Samajwadi Party lost heavily in the recently held Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls wherein the BJP secured a clear majority and formed the government led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
