Bihar assembly election 2025: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday mocked Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav and Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav, saying that three leaders of the Mahagathbandhan are “three monkeys” of the grand alliance. Calling them the monkeys of Mahatma Gandhi at a Bihar election rally, CM Yogi said that “Pappy, Tappu and Akku” see no evil, hear no even and speak no evil- and are blind, deaf, and mute to the truth of the development which has taken place in Bihar.
“Just as Gandhiji had three monkeys, today the INDIA alliance brought in three monkeys in the name of Pappu, Tappu and Appu (Rahul Gandhi, Tejashwi Yadav, and Akhilesh Yadav),” Yogi said while taking a sharp jibe at the three core leaders o of the opposition’s INDIA bloc.
“Pappu cannot speak the truth or say anything good. Tappu cannot see any truth, and Appu cannot hear the truth,” Yogi added during a public meeting at Keoti, Bihar.
Yogi stresses on removing mafias
In his previous rallies, the Chief Minister spoke on removing mafias from the state of Uttar Pradesh. In Keoti, he alleged that the opposition is working with mafias in the state, and are not able to see the development done by the NDA regime.
“These three people hug and mingle with the family mafias, and disrupt the security of the state…With guns and pistols, they taint Bihar’s entire system. These are the same people who divide you on the basis of caste, invite infiltrators, tamper with your faith, and then undermine national security,” Yogi AdityanathYogi Adityanath added.
