Samajwadi Party fumes over toilet tiles at Gorakhpur Railway Hospital. Here is what happened

In 2018 when Akhilesh Yadav had vacated his government accommodation, he was accused of damaging the property and even removing bathroom fittings.

Tweeting from their official Twitter handle today, Samajwadi Party expressed displeasure over the colour of tiles used in public toilets at Gorakhpur Railway Hospital. The tweet had pictures of the the Railway Hospital toilets in which the colours of the tiles used were red and green which are the colours used in the flag of the party.

Samajwadi Party alleged that the government had deliberately used the colours on the tiles for toilet for disrespecting the party. “It is a very shameful incident in a democracy that the ill-willed ruling party has used the colours of Samajwadi Party flag on the walls of the toilets out of political malice. The disrespect of the colours of the flag of a major political party is highly condemnable. Congnisance should be take immediately and the colours should be changed,” the tweet read.

Responding to Samajwadi Party’s tweet, the North Eastern Railway clarified that the tiles had no connection with any political party and that they were fixed in the toilets years ago under the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan to ensure cleanliness in the toilets. The organisation urged Samajwadi party to cooperate in maintaining cleanliness.
