During a session in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath lightened the atmosphere by recounting a humorous incident aimed at the Samajwadi Party (SP) government. He shared a story about an event held to commemorate the martyrdom of Pandit Ram Prasad Bismil, where a minister from the education department mistakenly confused Bismil with Bismillah Khan, questioning why he had been hanged. This story elicited laughter from the assembly, but also highlighted a significant issue regarding the awareness and competence of those in leadership positions in the education sector.

Yogi emphasized that the minister, even after being corrected by attendees, insisted on his misunderstanding, further displaying a lack of knowledge about a critical figure in Indian history. Adityanath pointed out that such ignorance underscores broader systemic problems within the educational framework of the state during the time the SP was in power. This situation allowed him to criticize the previous government's failures in maintaining educational standards and producing informed leaders.

Ultimately, Yogi's narrative served a dual purpose: to entertain and to draw attention to the negligence that existed in the leadership under the SP, suggesting that a chaotic environment led to a lack of accountability and insight in educational policies, which directly affects the youth and their future. The assembly's reaction reflected both amusement and a recognition of serious underlying issues that need to be addressed.
