SP\u2019s Akhilesh Yadav’s ‘shampoo’ jibe at CM Yogi leaves netizens in splits. (X)<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

In a fresh salvo of verbal sparring, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav took a dig at Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, after a video surfaced showing the latter appearing to pick up what appeared to be a shampoo bottle in a departmental store during his visit to Gorakhpur.<\/p>\n

In the video, CM Yogi was also seen talking to the store manager about the benefits of the GST reduction on these products, and was informed of the reduction.<\/p>\n

While addressing a press briefing in Lucknow on Tuesday, the SP chief mockingly asked, \u201cYogi ji ko shampoo ki kya zarurat hai?”<\/em> (Why does Yogi ji need shampoo?), in a pointed reference to Yogi Adityanath\u2019s traditionally clean-shaven head.<\/p>\n
