Shiv Sena To Yogi Adityanath: Steer Clear Of Making Controversial Remarks

Shiv Sena, which is already on thin ice with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), gave a wide berth to the controversy and the cries of outrage by the Opposition over Gorakhpur MP Yogi Adityanath being given the reigns of Uttar Pradesh, however, the party added a word of advice for the firebrand priest turned politician.

Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut said, “I have no comments to offer on this as the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led BJP government can appoint any one as the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh according to their will." When asked if the controversial MP known for his provocative statements could handle UP, Raut said that it’s best if Adityanath steered clear of making notorious remarks, as it will create chaos in the state.

"The controversial remarks won't work now as he will be the next chief minister of the Uttar Pradesh, India's largest state. If in case he does make such remarks, it will create chaos in the state. Now he should talk about development " he said. Commenting on the Ram temple promise in Ayodhya, Raut asserted that if the Ram temple will not be built even after Yogi Adityanath appointment as UP chief minister, it will never get constructed.
