Regarding the office and house built by Akhilesh Yadav in Azamgarh, Dinesh Lal Nirhua said that the house was built a long time ago. But he does not come. He does not stay. He runs away after winning.
Gorakhpur:
Former BJP MP from Azamgarh, UP and Bhojpuri film actor Dinesh Lal Yadav alias Nirahua has reacted sharply to the controversy over Hindi language in Maharashtra. He said that I am also a North Indian, attack me, why are you attacking a poor man. There should not be any controversy over language. People of different castes, religions, sects live here. There is unity in diversity here. This is the identity of India. Trying to spoil it is wrong.
Bhojpuri is a very sweet language
Former BJP MP from Azamgarh Lal Yadav alias Nirahua came to a cinema hall in Gorakhpur on Saturday with the entire team to promote the Bhojpuri film 'Hamar Naam Hai Kanhaiya'. He said that Marathi language is a very beautiful language. Marathi people also know that BhojpDineshuri is a very beautiful language. If someone has the ability to learn and speak a few languages, then it is a good thing. It depends on his ability. One should not force anyone. If someone does this, then it is wrong.
Reply given to Raj Thackeray
On the language controversy in Maharashtra, former BJP MP Dinesh Lal Nirhua said that this controversy should not be about language. Those who are doing this should understand that the beauty of India lies in this. People speaking different languages, people of different religions, different sects, people following different traditions live together here. Unity in diversity is the identity of India. Trying to spoil it is wrong. On Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray's statement of imposing Hindi language, Nirhua said that no attempt is being made to impose Hindi on any state. They speak their language. We speak our language. Why would anyone impose it on them?
Regarding the Kanwar Yatra, he said that the identity of every person is a matter of pride. If we were born here in UP. Born in Bhojpuri language. We were born in a Yadav family, then I am proud of it. Everyone should be proud of their identity. What is the need to hide the identity? One should reveal one's identity. People all over the world are watching Bhojpuri, giving love. Giving blessings.
Questions raised on Akhilesh Yadav
Regarding the office and house built by Akhilesh Yadav in Azamgarh, Dinesh Lal Nirahua said that the house has been built long ago. But he does not come. He does not live there. He runs away after winning. Advising Akhilesh, Nirahua said that wherever the public elects you, you should stay among them, listen to them, only then will you be able to do something. Sometimes he (Akhilesh) comes in between. He should go and live there. The public has given him a chance. Dinesh Lal Nirahua said that the people of Azamgarh are saying that the Bharatiya Janata Party has done a lot of work. The people of SP only do politics of division in the name of caste and hatred in the name of religion.
