NEW DELHI: Uttar Pradesh chief minister+ Yogi Adityanath today took a dig at Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi and Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav, whose alliance+ the BJP defeated+ by a handsome margin in the state assembly election.
"I'm one year younger than Rahul ji and an year older than Akhilesh ji. The fact that I could come in between their partnership may be the reason for your (SP-Congress alliance) failure," Adityanath jibed.
His teasing remark, which earned a round of laughs and sent the opposition into a tizzy, was preceded by an attack on the former Samajwadi Party government for not utilizing the funds channeled to it by the Centre.
"Over the last two and a half years, the Central government allocated 2.5 lakh crore rupees to UP. But the state government utilized only Rs 78,000 crore. This was because they did not have a proper model for the state's development," he charged.
In his final address to the Lok Sabha, the newly-coronated UP chief minister hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's policy of inclusive growth for turning the country's economy around,
"In the last three years, the development schemes and programmes implemented by this government are being viewed as an ideal model in the country and the world over... PM Modi is being hailed as a global icon," Adityanath said.
Citing the rise in the country's growth rate, Adityanath also acknowledged finance minister Arun Jaitley's efforts in this regard.
"I thank the finance minister for breathing new life into our country's economy," the UP chief minister said.
The firebrand BJP leader, who is viewed by many as a Hindutva mascot, then touched upon the Prime Minister's 'Sabka saath, sabka vikas' motto to say the BJP-led NDA government had ensured growth and development for all sections of the society.
