In an apparent dig at SP's Akhilesh Yadav, UP CM Yogi Adityanath said, "Someone said people from Uttarakhand are infiltrators...and I replied...if it weren't for...daughter from Uttarakhand, you'd have been grazing buffaloes in Saifai." Reacting to remarks, Akhilesh said, "CM's remarks...in which he used abusive language against 'Gopalaks' (cowherds), indirectly insulted Gopal, or Lord Krishna."
