Attacking the opposition, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that parties like Samajwadi Party, Bahujan Samaj Party and Congress wanted power to loot, not to serve the people as they were not concerned about nation’s interest but only about their personal interests.
Addressing a series of rallies in Bahraich and Mau on Wednesday, the Chief Minister said that the character of the SP, the BSP and the Congress was similar.
“They are families, not political parties and they are not concerned about the progress of the citizens,” he said.
“Anarchy, corruption and dishonesty remain their sole agenda after they come to power. In order to maintain their vote banks to retain power, they oppose the decisions taken in the interest of the country. They do not even shy away from supporting terrorism. Such people are not liking abrogation of Article 370 and they speak the language of Pakistan,” Yogi said.
The Chief Minister said that improvement in law and order and curbing corruption were the priorities of his government.
“Criminals have got a clear message and they have understood the motive of the government. Those who did not understand this in the beginning, have been made to acknowledge it and now either they are behind bars or have fled the state,” he said.
“During the rule of Samajwadi Party, riots took place every other day. There was loss of property and restrictions were imposed on celebration of festivals. But now, no riots take place and all festivals are celebrated with zeal,” he said.
The Chief Minister said that during his 30-month rule, the Bharatiya Janata Party government had provided employment to 2.25 lakh youth in a transparent manner and no complaint of wrongful means was reported. “People who came under suspicion were expelled at once,” he said.
Speaking at a rally in Bahraich’s Balha town, the Chief Minister said that the state government constructed a medical college in the name of Maharaj Suheldev.
“Admissions will start here from this year and this will provide better health facilities to the people of Bahraich,” he said.
“In addition, the state government is also promoting sports by constructing open gymnasium and sports grounds in every village,” the Chief Minister said.
Yogi said that the BJP was the only democratic party in the country. “It is only the BJP where any booth level worker can become prime minister and national president of the party,” he said.
