Lord Krishna Remarks | Lucknow, Nov. 12: Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Thursday accused Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath of insulting Lord Krishna through his alleged remarks about cowherds.
Yadav also predicted that the BJP would suffer defeat in the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.
In a post on X, Yadav shared a video clip of Adityanath’s remarks at an event in Uttarakhand on Wednesday. The chief minister had reportedly said that without people from the hill state, Yadav would have been grazing buffaloes in his native Saifai.
Yadav said the remarks amounted to an insult to Gopal, or Lord Krishna, by using objectionable language against cowherds.

The SP chief also accused Adityanath of mistreating members of the Pal community in Varanasi. He alleged that the administration had used batons against them and disrespected a statue of Rajmata Devi Ahilyabai Holkar.
Yadav questioned Adityanath’s devotion to Lord Shiva, Lord Ram, Lord Krishna and Ahilyabai Holkar.
He also took an apparent swipe at preacher Dhirendra Shastri, who is scheduled to hold a religious discourse in Kunda, Pratapgarh, next week. Referring to him as “Dushmukhi”, Yadav alleged similarities between the preacher and Adityanath in their language and remarks about religious figures.
Yadav criticised the proposed religious event, claiming the BJP was inviting such personalities because the chief minister had become politically weak.
