Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav reacted to Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath comparing him, Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav with Mahatma Gandhi's three monkeys. "The truth is...if he were made to sit among a troop of monkeys, [neither] you nor I'd recognise him," Akhilesh added. "BJP is remembering Gandhiji's three monkeys...to deflect people's minds from important issues," he stated.
