): Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has expressed shock over this incident and given assurance to the people that the culprits will not be spared under any circumstances. Chief Minister Yogi said that on the one hand the Samajwadi Party and Congress patronise, encourage and glorify the mafia, rioters and terrorists and on the other, they insult national heroes. He said that the SP, after coming to power in 2012, made a malicious attempt to withdraw the cases of terrorists who attacked Ram Janmabhoomi in Ayodhya, Sankatmochan Temple in Kashi, Lucknow courts as well as the CRPF camp in Rampur. Recently, when a notorious mafia don died, the national president of Samajwadi Party himself visited his house to offer his condolences. How did he behave with Ram devotees during the Ram Janmabhoomi movement in Ayodhya? What was the conduct of Samajwadi Party on the death of Kalyan Singh? Their disrespectful and contemptuous behaviour towards the statue of national hero Maharana Pratap on Saturday is highly condemnable. I condemn this act. He added: This conduct is not exclusive to the Samajwadi Party; similar incidents occurred with Rahul Gandhi in Maharashtra. When a supporter offered him a statue of Chhatrapati Shahu Ji Maharaj, he declined it. It is evident they wont honour national heroes but will instead exalt terrorists, Pakistan, and criminal elements, posing a threat to the safety of women and businessmen. The nation is observing, and they will receive a fitting response in the upcoming elections. Chief Minister Yogi emphasised that when leaders embrace shamelessness and pursue self-serving politics, their interests often prioritise their families, resulting in such displays. Whether it is the incidents in Mainpuri or Maharashtra, Congress, Samajwadi Party and National Conference exhibit similar tendencies. One cannot expect better things from them, he remarked.
