Taking a jibe at Samajwadi Party (SP) President and Former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav ahead of Assembly polls in the state, Union Minister for Youth Affairs and Sports Anurag Thakur on December 28 said that ‘dange’ (riots) happened in the state under the SP rule whereas ‘dangal’ (wrestling matches) are being organised now under BJP rule. Addressing at an event in Ballia, Thakur said, “During Samajwadi Party rule, 'Dange' happened, 'Dangal' happens under BJP rule. Bullets were fired earlier, now football is played at the speed of bullet. Under Yogi government, maximum players won medals in Para-Olympics.”
