UP CM Yogi Adityanath has called social media 'a belagaam ghora'. Read to know the whole incident.
On Friday, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that at present social media is like a “belagaam ghora [unbridled horse]”, and he has urged the workers and office-bearers of the BJP’s IT and Social Media cell here to “train and prepare” to rein it in.
According to a report by The Indian Express, Adityanath warned the party workers that they could fall prey to media trials if they were not careful. He instructed the party’s IT Cell workers to counter it immediately without waiting for a “mahurat [auspicious time]”.
“Print and visual media had those at the helm who could maintain control. However, no one has control over social media. If you do not remain alert, and are not prepared, then you will become the topic of media trial,” said Adityanath.
He added, “Isliye is belagaam ghore ko niyantrit karne ke liye humare paas uss prakar ka prashikshan aur uss prakar ki tayyari bahut awashyak hai [That is why it is important to train and prepare to control this unbridled horse].”
