The whole country is drenched in the colors of Holi. From common people to CM Yogi Adityanath and Akhilesh Yadav are playing Holi in UP. Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party’s newly elected MLA and Bahubali leader Ramakant Yadav has given a controversial statement regarding Holi. He has refused to consider Holi as a festival, saying that he does not celebrate it. Ramakant Yadav has refused to wish people on this occasion, saying that he asks others not to celebrate this festival also.
Ramakant Yadav while talking to the media personnel said, “The first thing is that I do not celebrate Holi myself and convince people that Holi is not a festival for us. Why celebrate this Holi, I am sad about it, that’s why we refuse people from celebrating Holi.” This video of Ramakant Yadav is becoming increasingly viral.
Ramakant Yadav, refusing to wish Holi, said that on April 14, Babasaheb’s birth anniversary, then he will give best wishes. Ramkant Yadav has been a four-time MP and four-time MLA from Azamgarh. This time he has been elected MLA from Phulpur Powai Assembly Constituency. They have old relation with problems. Ramakant Yadav said in a phone conversation with a TV channel regarding this controversial statement, “I wish, I do not want to celebrate. I refuse my people too. This is a useless festival, we ask people not to celebrate.” He also said that he does not like the way daughters-in-law are painted on their bodies in poor settlements.
Refusing to comment on Akhilesh Yadav, Mulayam Singh Yadav playing Holi in Saifai, Ramakant Yadav also raised questions on Hiranyakashyap’s attempt to get Bhakt Prahlad killed. He said, “People say that at the age of 10-12 years, Prahlad wanted to be killed by Hiranakashyap. For a king to get someone killed, there was no trial at that time, would a father want his son to be killed?
