Yogi Adityanath Warning to Abu Azmi: Yogi Adityanath is seriously not happy with Samajwadi Party MLA Abu Azmi. When Yogi isn’t happy, trust me, you’ll hear about it. Loud and clear. So, what’s the drama this time? Well, Azmi said some pretty controversial stuff about Aurangzeb, and boom—now we’ve got a full-blown political showdown.
Yogi Adityanath’s Warning to Abu Azmi
So, Yogi Adityanath did NOT hold back in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly on Wednesday. He straight-up called out Abu Azmi for his comments, took some jabs at the Samajwadi Party, and then—wait for it—said Azmi should be sent to UP so his government could handle his “special treatment.” Uh… yeah, that sounds kinda intense.
His exact words? He told the SP to kick Azmi out of the party and send him to UP, where they’d handle the rest. “Samajwadi Party… us (Abu Azmi) ko nikalo party se, UP bhej do, baaki upchaar hum apne aap karwa lenge,” he said. Roughly translated: “Remove him from SP, send him to UP, and we’ll take care of the treatment ourselves.” That “treatment” bit? Let’s just say it’s open to interpretation, but it’s clear Yogi’s not exactly rolling out the red carpet for Azmi.
Oh, and he didn’t stop there. Yogi also went off about how SP leaders keep bashing the Maha Kumbh while their own MLA (Azmi) is out here praising a guy who destroyed temples. Yeah, you can see why he’s mad.
Aurangzeb Controversy: What Azmi Said
So, what exactly did Abu Azmi say that got everyone this riled up? Well, he basically argued that Aurangzeb wasn’t some cruel ruler and even went as far as saying that Aurangzeb built temples. (Cue the collective gasps from certain political corners.)
And just when you thought the drama was over, Yogi Adityanath went in on Abu Azmi again—this time over his take on Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Yeah, not a light topic. According to Yogi, Azmi doesn’t respect Shivaji’s legacy, which, let’s be real, is a HUGE deal in Maharashtra.
People there don’t just admire Shivaji—they revere him. Yogi even said, “The person who feels ashamed about the heritage of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, instead of taking pride…” You get the idea. He considers Aurangzeb his idol. Does he have the right to stay in our country?” Yogi questioned. And just like that, he put the ball in SP’s court. “Why don’t you control your MLA? Why haven’t you condemned his statement?” he asked them.
Abu Azmi’s Suspension & His Apology (Kind Of?)
Now, Abu Azmi isn’t just facing backlash in Uttar Pradesh. Nope. Maharashtra took action too. He got suspended from the Maharashtra Assembly for the entire session over his comments. Ouch.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Chandrakant Patil made the announcement, saying Azmi’s statements hurt the dignity of the house. And as expected, this suspension added more fuel to the political fire.
Azmi, for his part, tried to do some damage control. He claimed his words were “twisted” and insisted that he was only quoting historians and writers when he spoke about Aurangzeb. Azmi even tried to walk it back a little. He said if his words hurt anyone’s feelings, he was cool with taking them back.
Classic damage control. He was quick to clear things up, saying, “I haven’t said anything bad about Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Sambhaji Maharaj, or any other great men.” Basically, his way of going, “Relax, that’s not what I meant. But still, if anyone has been hurt by my statement, then I take back my words,” Azmi said in a video on his X (formerly Twitter) account.
So, was that a full apology? Kinda. Did it calm things down? Not really.
Politics, Controversy, & The Never-Ending Drama
End of the day, it’s just another episode in the never-ending BJP vs. SP saga. Same fight, different day. Yogi Adityanath isn’t letting this slide, though. He’s making sure Abu Azmi—and honestly, the whole Samajwadi Party—feels the heat. No one’s getting off easy on this one.Meanwhile, Azmi’s suspension in Maharashtra shows that the controversy isn’t just limited to Uttar Pradesh.
One thing’s for sure: this isn’t dying down anytime soon. Expect more statements, more reactions, and more political fireworks in the days ahead. Because, let’s be real, Indian politics never sleeps.
