Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday launched a scathing attack on the opposition parties, specially Samajwadi Party (SP), and said that their main agenda revolved around advancing their own interests rather than the progress of Ghosi.
Addressing a public meeting organised in support of Bharatiya Janata Party candidate in by-poll for Ghosi assembly seat Dara Singh Chauhan, the CM said, “Only those who have seen the Mau riots of 2005 will understand the importance of Ghosi. During that period, the SP government was in power, but it proved ineffective in addressing the situation. However, we as a responsible force, took a decisive stand against the rioters, irrespective of caste divisions.”
He said, “Those who once instigated riots in this region now find themselves dependent on wheelchairs and begging for their lives.”
Yogi said that while the opposition discusses PDA (Pichra, Dalit and Alpsankhyak), his government has diligently pursued ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’ under the guidance of the Prime Minister. “This approach aims to establish a governance framework devoid of discrimination,” he said.
Describing Ghosi as a land of sages, he remarked that one’s real character becomes evident during trying times. “During the COVID crisis, the character of Congress was not hidden from anyone, and the SP supremo was also hiding in his home. Then remember that Modi and Yogi were ready to serve you. Free vaccination doses were given out, and assistance was provided to the less fortunate. No one can now violate the rights of the poor and everyone benefits equally from major projects,” he said.
The CM said, “The Community Health Center, ITI, and Polytechnic in this Ghosi were all established during the tenure of BJP representatives.”
Taking a swipe at SP, he said, “These are the people who open fire at the devotees of Lord Ram, while we are dedicated to the construction of the Ram Mandir. Today, there are 4 lane roads in Ghosi. Whether it is Gorakhpur or Varanasi, we have built roads that have reduced their distance from Lucknow significantly.”
Yogi pointed out that Congress and SP barely paid attention to this region and criticised the SP for changing the names of Bhimrao Ambedkar and Kanshi Ram University as per their convenience. “What can be a bigger insult to great men than this? SP sounded the trumpet of social injustice. Hate is in their genes,” he said.
He said, “Words of development coming from their mouths in this circumstance sounds absurd. During their rule, only a select few, including the uncle-nephew and family members, thrived, while the state’s development was hampered, resulting in an employment crisis for the youth.”
The CM said, “Today, the double-engine government is working in the center and the state. Efforts are being made to take this pace of development to every village and every corner.”
Regarding Dara Singh Chauhan, he said, “Its never too late to mend. Dara Singh has also returned home and is a veteran politician.”
Yogi emphasized that the people of Ghosi do not need to seek help from anyone as his government is dedicated to serving them. “No one can come between you and Ghosi’s growth. Only we can do this work,” he said.
He concluded by requesting cooperation from everyone for the region’s growth and prosperity.
