New Delhi (India), April 5 (ANI): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and BJP leader Yogi Adityanath said on Friday that Muslim League is like a "deadly virus" and the Congress party is infested with it. He further said that if Congress and the Muslim League win the election then the virus would spread across the nation.

"Muslim League is a virus. The type of virus which if somebody is infested with cannot be saved and today the principal Opposition party Congress is infested with it. Just think if they win then what will happen? The virus will spread across the nation," tweeted Adityanath.

मुस्लिम लीग एक वायरस है। एक ऐसा वायरस जिससे कोई संक्रमित हो गया तो वो बच नहीं सकता और आज तो मुख्य विपक्षी दल कांग्रेस ही इससे संक्रमित हो चुका है।



सोचिये अगर ये जीत गए तो क्या होगा ? ये वायरस पूरे देश मे फैल जाएगा। — Chowkidar Yogi Adityanath (@myogiadityanath) April 5, 2019



In a subsequent tweet, he said: "In the 1857 war of independence, the whole nation stood with Mangal Pandey and fought the British, then this Muslim League virus came and spread in such a manner that the nation was partitioned. Again the same fear is hovering, the green flags are again waving. The Congress is infested with Muslim League virus. Beware!"

1857 के स्वतंत्रता संग्राम में मंगल पांडे के साथ पूरा देश अंग्रेजों के खिलाफ मिल कर लड़ा था, फिर ये मुस्लिम लीग का वायरस आया और ऐसा फैला कि पूरे देश का ही बंटवारा हो गया

आज फिर वही खतरा मंडरा रहा।

हरे झण्डे फिर से लहर रहे।

कांग्रेस मुस्लिम लीग वायरस से संक्रमित है, सावधान रहिये। — Chowkidar Yogi Adityanath (@myogiadityanath) April 5, 2019
