UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is a “coward” and was so “scared” of Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra that he kept her in custody and did not let her visit Lakhimpur Kheri after violence there, said Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel on Sunday. Targeting Adityanath, Baghel said he had heard and believed that seers do not fear anyone but this Yogi proved to be a “big coward”. “He is such a coward that he got afraid of a woman, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, that he did not allow her to go to Lakhimpur Kheri and kept her in jail for four days. The UP chief minister will be such a big coward, I never knew this,” Baghel said. Sharpening his attack, Baghel said Yogiji had come to Chhattisgarh a number of times but they never stopped him.
