France riots | UP CM reacts to viral tweet by hailing 'Yogi model', Owaisi hits out

Politics erupted in Uttar Pradesh after CM Yogi Adityanath's office on Saturday reacted to a viral tweet demanding Yogi Model in France which is witnessing violent protests after a youth was shot dead by police.

A twitter user going by the name Professor N John Camm on Friday sought CM Yogi's model of Law and order to handle the situation within 24 hours in several cities in France . He wrote, "India must send @myogiadityanath to France to control the riot-like situation there and My God,he will do it within 24 hours.

Responding to the tweet, CM's office said, "Whenever extremism fuels riots, chaos engulfs and law & order situation arises in any part of the globe, the World seeks solace and yearns for the transformative "Yogi Model" of Law & Order established by Maharaj Ji in Uttar Pradesh," the verified handle of Yogi Adityanath's office tweeted.

The retweet by CM office irked AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi who lashed out at the minister saying the office got happy at a tweet by some fake account which only shows how much the CM is hungry for praise. He further said, false encounters, illegal bulldozer action and targeting the weak is not a transformative policy, it is the destruction of democracy. We had seen the truth of “Yogi Model” in Lakhimpur Kheri and Hathras.
