Marking 50 years of Emergency, UP CM Yogi Adityanath said, "The Congress and the then PM Indira Gandhi sinned on 25 June 1975 to ensure they remained in power." He added, "They strangled the Indian Constitution 50 years ago by saying, "meri satta bani rahe chahe loktantra rahe na rahe" (Let my power remain, even if democracy doesn't)."
