Uttar Pradesh minister Sanjay Nishad responded to criticism from the Samajwadi Party, urging them to focus on their own survival rather than his.
During a recent press interaction, Uttar Pradesh cabinet minister Sanjay Nishad addressed remarks made by leaders of the Samajwadi Party. He dismissed the opposition's criticism, emphasizing that the party should be preoccupied with its own political relevance.
"Worry about your existence, not ours," Nishad said, directing the comment at the Samajwadi Party members who had questioned his ministry's actions.
The exchange highlights the continuing friction between the ruling BJP‑led state government and the opposition Samajwadi Party, which has been vocal about governance issues in the state.
Nishad, who holds a portfolio in the Yogi Adityanath administration, did not elaborate further, leaving the Samajwadi Party's response pending.
