Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath addressed election rallies in Gorakhpur and Bahraich on Friday. He vehemently criticised the opposition parties, including Samajwadi Party, Bahujan Samaj Party and Congress, labelled them as Ramdrohis. Chief Minister Yogi asserted that the opposition parties not only consider the Ram temple as useless for their political gains but also neglected the legacy of Maharaja Suheldev for seven decades post-Independence. Yogi accompanied party candidate Ravi Kishan when he filed his nomination papers in Gorakhpur and later addressed the public at Mahant Digvijaynath Park. In Bahraichs Mahsi locality, he rallied in support of party candidate Dr Anand Kumar Gaur. Chief Minister Yogi said, Ramrajya is the ultimate solution to the nations challenges, and Baar Baar Modi Sarkar is the only solution. He reiterated the publics desire to re-elect leaders who embody the principles of Ramrajya. During the public address in Gorakhpur, Yogi vehemently criticised both SP and Congress for the statements made by certain leaders regarding the construction of the Shri Ram temple in Ayodhya. He said, The opposition leaders, who seemed disheartened until the third voting phase, have begun commenting on Lord Ram. Some have deemed the Ram temple useless, while others question its public benefit. Those who support terrorists will undoubtedly feel bad about the Ram temple. Yogi stated, Had the opposition, when in power, implemented stringent measures against those responsible for the terrorist attacks on Ram Janmabhoomi, similar to the current measures being taken nationwide, and against organised crime in Uttar Pradesh, then incidents like the terrorist attacks on Sankatmochan temple and courts could have been prevented. Chief Minister Yogi hit out against the policy of appeasement towards terrorism which resulted in the loss of thousands of lives in these attacks. He said, The oppositions acceptance of defeat is evident as the Lok Sabha elections progress, with Congress, SP and BSP conceding the electoral race. Yogi noted that he has had the opportunity to visit nine states during the campaign and a unified voice echoes throughout the country: Ek Baar Fir Modi Sarkaar. In a scathing attack on the opposition, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that Congress, SP and BSP did not give respect to the brave Maharaja Suheldev Rajbhar, who killed Somnath temple culprit Ghazi Salar Masud and built his tomb in Bahraich, only for the vote bank as they feared losing the votes of Ghazi Salar Masuds devotees He paid homage to the land of bravery of Maharaja Suheldev and the sacred land of freedom fighter Raja Balbhadra Singh as he greeted the gathering on the auspicious occasions of Akshaya Tritiya and Parshuram Jayanti. Chief Minister Yogi emphasised that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the state government not only constructed the grand Ram temple in Ayodhya but also took decisive measures to curb the influence of mafia elements, who were sowing seeds of chaos and disorder. The chief minister said that a government that respects peoples emotions, protects interests, and integrates development initiatives should be chosen repeatedly. This not only improves the present but also creates new opportunities for the future, he added. Reflecting on the journey of Indias development, Chief Minister Yogi noted the transformation from a decade ago when the nation grappled with terrorism, Naxalism, corruption in development projects, and rampant crime. The poor died of hunger and youth migrated. Daughters and businessmen were not safe. There were riots and curfews everywhere. Attacks occurred in courts of Ayodhya, Varanasi, Lucknow, and CRPF camps, he added.
