Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday took a potshot at Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra over her symbolic support for Palestine and sought to shed light on how Israel ranked higher in priority for his government and the Centre and also how this "association" was yielding better gains for youths of the state.
"A Congress leader goes to show off her bag with 'Palestine' emblazoned on it while the government has already sent more than 5,500 youths from Uttar Pradesh to Israel who are engaged in infrastructure projects there and earning handsome wages in return," the Chief Minister said, addressing the House on the second day of UP Assembly's winter session.
