Akbar wasn't great, only Maharana Pratap was: Yogi Adityanath


Lucknow, June 15 (IT): Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath yesterday said that only Mewar ruler Maharana Pratap was great and not Mughal emperor Akbar.

He praised Maharana Pratap for winning his forts back from Akbar. The CM was addressing an RSS gathering on the occasion of Mewar kings birthday during which a special edition of magazine Avadh Prahri was also released.

"Akbar's only condition for Pratap was to accept him as 'badshah' following which he will not interfere in Mewar king's state.But Maharana Pratap refused to accept him as his king because he was a Turk who couldn't be trusted," he said.

Yogi said that Maharana Pratap is still remembered today even after 500 years because fought for his pride and refused to bend his knees in front of a foreigner. Friendship cannot come at the cost of self-respect,'' Yogi said.

The ministers speech was applauded amid chants of 'Jai Shri Ram' and 'Bharat Mata ki Jai'.

Last year, Yogi's MLA Sangeet Som had also made a similar statement and termed Mughal emperors Babur, Akbar and Aurangzeb "traitors". He had said that their names should be removed from the pages of history.

    What else can you expect from this CM.. Other than blaming history and trying to change it they dont know anything else.. Isnt this what his master also does.. Blaming history and trying to change it... rather than trying to change the present so our future improves.... and his followers will say" achhe din aney waley hai"

    No wonder UP has low.literacy rate...
    Bjp- Sonia is.italian
    Bhakths- jai Sri ram jai modi

    Bjp- Taj maha is tejomahalay
    Bhakths- jai sriram jai modi

    Bjp- holy kaba was previously a temple
    Bhakths- jai sriram jai modi
    I wont be suprized if someone comes and says Vatican also was a Hindu temple tomorrow..😂
    Arrey bhaktho google facts and search history before believing...dont insult lord ram by saying jai Sri Ram when people are provoking u or spreading venom...when BJP doesn't have any development thy vl just rename old schemes made by congress and take credit for themselves or try to divide religion by digging out history...

Because above two were straight forward, truthful ad courageous!!!!! Where as, the later two are FULL OF JUUMLES, LIARS, DECEIVERS, FEKUS and BRASHTAS !!!!!!! Isn't it later two are the greater than earlier?????? So, people should call them FEKU THE GREAT AND DAKU THE GREATEST!!!!!!

    Will these CM & Politicians stop talking about history & start talking about Present n Future.
    People in UP need Good Governance under you Mr. Yogi. They care a damn about your History because that has long gone. Talk about what you are doing to your State Citizens, children / Infants die, rapes take place on a daily basis, your MLA s named in rape cases. Here you are talking about who was great in History.
    If you can, make yourself a Great Leader, work on Progress of your state, then some day in future your name might come in History saying that " UP had a Swamijie as Chief Minister &he was the Best " . May be our grand children might get text books which feature you, if you create a history, for which you need to live your present and work towards future Mr. Yogi..!!

    If you are confronted with the same situation that he faced you will run off and hide and put your foot soldiers out to defend you. loud mouthed idiot!

    Read my comment again, it says 'as per Yogi's definition of greatness' which is based on just one act of Rana Pratap : the way he dealt with foreign invader, Akbar. I'm comparing similar act of Tipu, that is the way he dealt with the British.

    Yogiji, can you please stop going back the wrong histories. How much efforts you are putting in the wrong histories. People from the state and country asking you to look after the people for their needs in the homes and hospitals, No one needs to tell you. Stop wasting time and start working for the betterment of the people of your state.

    There was no India or Hindustan at that time. No such names. It was all colonial rules each was a princely state ruled by their own kings with their own rules, expanding Kingdom of each other by trying to defeat one another. There was no.concept of Hindu Muslim in those area. Every Kingdom had soldiers, ministers etc of mixed Religion, so it cannot be called as Hindu army or Muslim army. All they wanted was to expand Kingdom and rule the expanded Kingdom. This was the concept of those era through out the world.

    One cannot take that history and compare it with their own version of modern day.

    This Yogi who is a communal Rogi in his heart always trying to twist history and creating hatred among people. He knows only to praise Hindu people irrespective of whether they were of it''s worthy r not. Just see Muslim names then bash them and see Hindu names then praise them. Sick mind.
