“Those who are committing injustice, I want to tell them that the CM’s (Yogi Adityanath) file had come to me (During my tenure). It was said in the file that he should be booked and proceeded against. But, we do not engage in the politics of hate and vindictiveness. We returned the file. Now do not harden us so much that when we come to power, we will do what you are doing to us,” Yadav said while issuing a threat to the Yogi government.
