'Nation doesn’t have high expectations of you': UP CM Yogi slams Rahul over 'Manusmriti' remarks

NEW DELHI: Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday stepped up his attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his remarks on the Manusmriti, while also targeting the party's state leadership over its alleged conduct in Ayodhya.Speaking in Raebareli, CM Yogi said Rahul Gandhi, as leader of opposition, had a responsibility to uphold the Constitution and respect India's traditions and heritage.“Recently, I was reading a statement made by the Member of Parliament from Raebareli, Rahul Gandhi. He made a statement in Maharashtra urging women to break free from the shackles of the Manusmriti. Rahul ji, the country does not have high expectations of you merely as Rahul Gandhi; in fact, it has no expectations at all. However, your role as the Leader of the Opposition in Parliament entails accountability towards the country's democracy.
