Koderma/Hazaribagh/Jamshedpur, Nov 5: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath kicked off his election campaign on Tuesday, rallying in Jharkhand on the first day. He sought voters' support for Dr. Neera Yadav from Koderma, Amit Yadav from Barkatha, Roshanlal Choudhary from Barkagaon, Pradeep Prasad from Hazaribagh Sadar, Purnima Das Sahu from Jamshedpur East, Saryu Roy from the West constituency, Meera Munda from Potka, and Ramchandra Sahis from Jugsalai.
In his address, CM Yogi criticized the Congress-RJD-JMM alliance, voicing concerns about the current state of Jharkhand. He urged citizens to stand firm and support the NDA candidates, asserting that stone pelters would soon be clearing the streets for them and ‘Bajrangi Pataka’ would proudly fly on every home in Jharkhand.
Extending festive greetings, he congratulated Jharkhand residents on Chhath Mahaparva and paid tribute to the revered Dharti Aaba, Bhagwan Birsa Munda. He also invited the people of Jharkhand to visit Ayodhya, Kashi, and Mathura. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath highlighted the remarkable transformation in Ayodhya, stating that those who once doubted the construction of the Ram Mandir now see it standing proudly, with Ramlala enthroned within. “The new Uttar Pradesh of today’s India does not spare those who threaten innocent citizens and Hindus. Lakhs of Ram devotees struggled and even sacrificed their lives for the temple on Shri Ram Janmabhoomi” he asserted.
He pointed to Congress, RJD, and JMM as significant barriers to the construction of Ram Mandir. However, as soon as the people entrusted Narendra Modi with the nation’s leadership and formed a BJP government in UP, a 500-year-old issue was resolved, he said. Yogi added that while stone pelters once roamed Kashmir, they are now “on the journey of Ram Naam Satya.” He noted that before 2017, stone pelters disrupted festivals in UP under political protection, but now, with a crackdown on the mafia, such elements have either left UP or embarked “on a journey to hell.” He added firmly, “The unjust and the oppressors will not find heaven, but hell.”
CM Yogi Adityanath, reflecting on changes in UP, spoke of the Kanwar Yatra, where nearly four crore pilgrims travel from Ghaziabad to Haridwar via Meerut. “Before 2017, the previous government didn’t allow the Kanwar Yatra. When our government insisted on allowing it, some said there would be riots. We responded, ‘Let’s try it once and see.’ Today, not only does the Kanwar Yatra happen, but flowers are also showered on pilgrims from helicopters,” he shared.
In Jharkhand, Yogi urged the people to assert their strength, suggesting that if they stand united, stone-pelters would “clear the roads for you” and ‘Bajrangi Pataka’ would proudly wave on every home.
Appealing to the people of Jharkhand to resist divisions based on caste, region, and language, CM Yogi Adityanath remarked, “Those who divide in such ways are the same people who will not stand by you in times of crisis. Since 1947, Congress has inflicted wounds on the country; RJD did the same in Bihar, and JMM in Jharkhand.”
He continued, “The growing Rohingya infiltration in Jharkhand is changing the state’s demography. If this continues, those who are blocking processions today may not allow the sound of bells and conches in homes tomorrow. Unite under BJP’s leadership, ensure a safe Ram Navami Yatra, and protect your traditions. History has shown that whenever we are divided along caste, regional, or linguistic lines, we have suffered greatly.” |
