NEW DELHI: Posters outside Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) party office in Patna slammed UP CM Yogi Adityanath’s ‘batenge toh katenge’ rehetoric listing out shortcomings of the BJP government including inflation, unemployment, crony capitalism among others. The poster said — ‘BJP se satoge toh katoge (If you allign with BJP, you’ll be cheated).’
It accused the saffron party of ‘breaking’ the parties it is in alliance with in Bihar – JDU and LJP. It criticised the party of taking inflation to a level that even made ‘gas stoves’ inaccessible for households.
Yogi Adityanath’s ‘batenge toh katenge,’ said in the context of alleged persecution of Hindus in Bangladesh, has attracted criticism from not just opposition parties, but also it’s own MVA allies like Ajit Pawar.
“Nothing can be above the nation. And the nation will be empowered only when we are united,” Adityanath had said adding, “Aap dekh rahe hain Bangladesh mein kya ho raha hai? Wo galatiyan yahan nahi honi chahiye. Batenge toh katenge! Ek rahenge to nek rahenge, surakshit rahenge aur samriddhi ki parakashtha ko pahuchenge. (You are seeing what is happening in Bangladesh. Those mistakes should not be repeated here. If we are divided, we will be destroyed. If we are united, we will be secure and we will prosper).”
