As Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath's “mitti me mila dunga” (reduce to dust) statement in Uttar Pradesh assembly trending on social media on Thursday, actor Kangana Ranaut also took to Twitter to praise the chief minister, after gangster-politician Atiq Ahmed's son Asad and an accomplice, both wanted in the Umesh Pal murder case, were eliminated in a police encounter.
“No one like my Bhaiya @myogiadityanath…,” Ranaut tweeted sharing a video of the chief minister of his February 25 statement. The UP CM on February 25 slammed the Samajwadi Party of nurturing mafias and vowed to destroy them.
"The mafioso whose name is emerging ... is it not true that the Samajwadi Party had made him an MP... He was a mafioso nurtured by the SP. Our government is working to break their back. 'Mitti me mila denge'," Adityanath had said in the assembly.
Earlier on Thursday, Atiq Ahmed's son Asad, and another accused Ghulam, were killed in the encounter. Both of them were wanted in the Umesh Pal murder case of Prayagraj. Each of them carried a reward of ₹5 lakh.
