Criticising the Congress for its way of handling terror incidents, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath stated on Tuesday that during the Congress government, whenever a terrorist incident occurred, they would put oil in their ears and ignore it. They would merely say they were watching or would watch, while terrorists continued their activities, he alleged. Speaking at a public meeting in Hasanpur, Amroha in support of Kanwar Singh Tanwar, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said, The Samajwadi Party has crossed the limits of shamelessness. They had the audacity to withdraw cases against terrorists who attacked Ram Janmabhoomi in Ayodhya and the Sankat Mochan Temple in Kashi. However, the judiciary thwarted its intentions. He continued, The court sharply criticised the SP, warning that if they can withdraw cases against terrorists today, they might tomorrow shamelessly compromise the countrys security by giving them the Padma award. The judiciary will not permit such actions. CM Yogi said: Today is Hanuman Jayanti. Modi ji has facilitated the installation of Shri Rams idol, who is the idol of Lord Hanuman, in Ayodhya. Therefore, Jo Ram ko laaye hain, hum unko layenge aur kamal khilayenge. CM Yogi said that prior to 2014, there were frequent terror incidents and bomb blasts, instilling fear among people. However, terrorism has been effectively curbed since 2014. In 2019, Modi ji took decisive action to revoke Article 370, which was the foundation of terrorism. This led to the eradication of terrorism from India. Now, even when a firecracker explodes, Pakistan promptly denies its involvement. Even our adversaries recognise our strength. They understand that if terror incidents occur in India and innocent lives are lost, they will face the consequences, Yogi remarked. Asserting that the BJP prioritises development, the CM stated, The distance from Amroha to Delhi is just 165 kms. Before 2014, it took five hours to travel this distance. The Congress failed to appreciate the importance of convenience and time. We are linking Amroha with the Ganga Expressway. Now, one can reach Delhi in just one-and-a-half hours, Lucknow in four hours, and Prayagraj in six hours. In a jibe at the Congress, CM Yogi remarked that the party had coined the slogan Garibi Hatao in 1970 but instead of alleviating poverty, one family gained unfettered access to plunder the nations resources, whether it was the family in Delhi or in Saifai. They indulged in rampant corruption and instigated chaos, he said. He added: The then Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh, had asserted that Muslims had the first right to the countrys resources. So, where does that leave the Dalits, Backward classes, Kharagvanshis, Semis, poor, farmers, mothers, sisters, and youth?" Accusing the Congress and INDIA bloc members of betraying the country by presenting a deceitful manifesto, he said that their promise to implement strict laws was misleading. He emphasised that India would be governed by the Constitution crafted by Baba Saheb Bhimrao Ambedkar, and not by any arbitrary law. They claim they will seize public property and then distribute it. Do you want to let the SP and Congress plunder the assets your ancestors worked hard to acquire? Look at the audacity of these people. On one hand, they have their eyes on your property, and on the other, they are reading fatiha on the graves of mafia and criminals, Yogi said. The chief minister stated that he had also campaigned for Mahendra Kharagvanshi in 2017 and 2022. He is consistently advancing development initiatives. Mahendra Kharagvanshi, along with Kanwar Singh Tanwar, has been tirelessly working towards fulfilling the vision once cherished by Kalyan Singh. In line with Kalyan Singhs sentiments, the Ram temple was constructed in Ayodhya. However, when Kalyan Singh passed away, not a single member from the SP attended his last rites. These people insulted Kalyan Singh, Yogi said. The chief minister emphasised that the Modi government schemes are now benefiting the poor and the underprivileged, regardless of their caste. In the 10 years of Modi jis rule, many works of development and poor welfare have been done. Considering that Congress held power for 65 years, SP had four terms in government, and BSP also had its chance, one must ask what did they truly accomplish? Their priorities appeared to centre more around self-enrichment through corruption than address the needs of the impoverished. There was a lack of genuine concern for the poor. Indira Gandhi had given the slogan Garibi Hatao and now her grandson is parroting the same thing, Yogi said. Underscoring the pivotal role of voting, the chief minister warned people against the consequences of giving power in the wrong hands, which could potentially fuel terrorism. Conversely, endorsing the BJP ensures a staunch approach to quelling terrorism emanating from across the border. Today, Pakistan acknowledges Indias targeted elimination of terrorists, he added. The CM said, Last time, there was a betrayal. The MP you elected doesnt even utter Bharat Maa ki jai. Initially supported by the elephant (BSP), he exploited all available resources and now seeks to exploit them with the support of the hand (Congress). Its crucial not to vote for someone who doesnt honour our nation. This nation and its destiny are in your hands. Modis leadership is once again essential for our security, prosperity, and to elevate India as a global powerhouse. Those advocating for Indias progress and prosperity stand in support of PM Modi.
