The MLA from Goshamahal constituency in Hyderabad voiced concern over 'huge voter turnout in some areas' of Uttar Pradesh during the second phase of polling on Monday. He believes that Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's enemies came out in large numbers to cast their votes. He appealed to 'Hindu brothers and sisters' to come out and vote in third and subsequent phases. "To those who don't vote for BJP, I want to tell you that Yogi ji has called thousands of JCBs and bulldozers. They are on the way to Uttar Pradesh. After elections those who did not support Yogi Ji will be identified. You know, what JCBs and bulldozers are used for," the MLA said. "I want to tell those traitors of Uttar Pradesh who don't want Yogi ji to become the Chief Minister again, abeta', if you want to live in Uttar Pradesh, you will have to say aYogi Yogi' or else you will have to leave the state," Raja Singh added. /IANS
