After the UP by-elections, whom did Maurya target with his statement of being a thief in the heart?:

News India Live, Digital Desk: How can there be peace in the politics of Uttar Pradesh? After the by-elections, while on one hand the results are being discussed, on the other hand there is a heated debate over the reasons for victory and defeat. Samajwadi Party (SP) and Akhilesh Yadav are continuously raising questions on the administration and police. Sometimes about checking IDs, and sometimes about not being allowed to vote.

But now Deputy CM of UP Keshav Prasad Maurya The counterattack by the opposition on these allegations has further heated up the political atmosphere.

Often when someone loses or is scared, he looks for excuses – Maura was clearly pointing in this direction. In his special style, he has shown the mirror to his opponents. Let us understand in simple language what he said and what is its political meaning.

“The intentions of those shouting ‘Sir-Sir’ are flawed.”
The opposition was continuously accusing the police administration (who were being addressed as ‘Sir’) of pressurizing or intimidating them. On this Keshav Maurya gave a sharp reply. He said that those who are unnecessarily making noise of ‘Sar-Sar’ or raising questions on the police action, are actually “The thief is sitting in their hearts.”

His meaning was clear – the one who was stopped from doing fake voting is the one who is making the most noise today. An honest voter has no fear in showing his ID or getting the checking done, but the strictness of the police spoiled the plans of those who had come to create trouble.

Vote theft or panic over defeat?
Maurya sarcastically said that the opposition parties, especially the Samajwadi Party, have already realized their defeat. Therefore, even before the results, they have started the ‘blame’ game. You can also understand this from the saying “Khisiyaani Catti Khambha Noche”.

The Deputy CM also made it clear that there is rule of law in the Yogi government. The job of the police was to conduct fair elections, and if someone tried to vote with a fake ID and the police stopped him, then what is wrong in that? Calling it ‘vote theft’ shows the frustration of the opposition.
