Akhilesh Yadav took a dig at Yogi Adityanath over the latter's "garmi shaant karwa dengey (will settle down the heat)" comment on the SP-RLD (Rashtriya Lok Dal) alliance. The SP chief said, "Jis din garmi khatam ho jayegi to hum log mar jayenge. Agar garm khoon nahi baha to hum zinda kaise rahenge? (If there is no heat, we will die. If hot blood does not flow, how will we remain alive?)."
