Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav today, April 12, slammed the Yogi Adityanath-led BJP government in Uttar Pradesh. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Akhilesh Yadav said that the murderous knife attack on Harish Mishra, a fierce and aggressive speaker of the Samajwadi Party, popularly known as "Banaras wale Mishra ji", is highly condemnable. Attacking the Uttar Pradesh government, Yadav said that Mishra's blood-stained clothes are a symbol of the collapse of law and order in the state. "Every SP worker has the strength to withstand such attacks," his post read. He further said it is to be seen if there is any movement in the inactive body of the so-called government of Uttar Pradesh after this incident. It must be noted that earlier in the day, SP leader Harish Mishra was allegedly attacked with a knife in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, allegedly by individuals linked to Karni Sena.
