Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that the people of today’s Samajhwadi party shoots common people but chants the name of Ram Manohar Lohia at Ram Katha Conclave on the occasion of Guru Purnima. He added, "Today's 'samajwadis' shoot at Ram devotees... Those who oppose Ram will always meet with misfortune (Jo Ram ka virodhi hai uski durgati humesha honi hai)... They can never achieve success or attain salvation..."
