Those who lack love in their lives have ill-will towards red colour: Akhilesh on Adityanath's jibe

Lucknow/Kannauj, August 30

Hitting back at Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath over his "cap is red but deeds are black" jibe, SP chief Akhilesh Yadav on Friday said no colour is good or bad, it is about perspective.

Yadav delved into the issue of colours and their significance at length in a post on X and said those who lack love, union and harmony in their lives often have ill will towards the colour red.

His remarks came a day after Adityanath said, "Everyone is familiar with the misdeeds of the SP. If you turn the pages, the SP's history is full of black deeds. The SP's cap is 'laal' (red) but its 'karname kale hain' (deeds are black). They are repeating their history."

Yadav, whose party cadres usually don red caps, said, "Question Hour of Parliament of the public (Janta Ki Sansad). Question: What could be the reasons for getting angry about seeing red and black colour? Mark two points each. Answer -- Colours have a deep relation with the mind and psychology.

"If a colour is liked by someone in particular, then there are special psychological reasons for it and if someone gets angry on seeing a colour, then there are some negative psychological reasons for that too," he said.

"The truth is that every colour is obtained from nature and positive people do not consider any colour to be negative. Instead of positive diversity towards colours; We should have multi-coloured goodwill towards those who have a negative view of division and disintegration because this is not their fault but the result of their monochrome narrow dominant thinking," Yadav asserted.

"To change the minds and hearts of such people, we just need to explain that 'only after the dark night of black there is the significance of the reddish morning', this mutual colour relationship brings hope and enthusiasm in life," he said, adding "No colour is good or bad, it is about perspective."

Yadav said the colour red is a symbol of union and, "Those who lack love, union and harmony in their lives often have ill-will towards this colour."
