Early Times Report PRATAPGARH, July 7: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath sharply criticised the leaders of the Samajwadi Party and Congress, holding up a mirror to them on the issues of the Ram Mandir and Waqf. He stated unequivocally, "Why do those who attack Hindu faith have their mouths sealed with Fevicol in the name of Waqf? The real pain of the SP and Congress is that where they wanted to see the symbol of slavery, the Babri structure, a temple of Lord Ram has been built instead. Even a chameleon would be ashamed on seeing SP leaders and Congress leaders, because this species changes colours even faster than us." On Tuesday, the Chief Minister inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for 111 development projects worth over Rs 384 crore for the Pratapgarh and Vishwanath Ganj Assembly constituencies at the Government Inter College. The CM paid tribute to Pratapgarh's rich heritage by recalling its deities, saints, litterateurs, freedom fighters, and political leaders. He remarked, Pratapgarh, spreading the medicinal sweetness of amla, is an example of self-reliance. But it is the farmers, orchard growers, and their forefathers of Pratapgarh who have given us the nectar fruit by producing amla. Addressing the gathering, the CM said, "You have seen the quagmire of the SP, Congress, and other parties. Those who had created an identity crisis for the youth and citizens are once again conspiring as elections approach. The Opposition does not like Uttar Pradesh's progress, freedom from disturbances, the atmosphere of enthusiasm, respect for heritage, the restoration works of Maa Belha Devi, Maa Chandrika Devi, and Karpatri Ji Maharaj, or employment opportunities for the youth, because if young people work, the politics of casteism will come to an end. The Opposition once again wants to tear apart the social fabric on the basis of caste." He further added, "The SP and Congress have no new issue. They are left with only two issues - division in the name of caste and attacks on faith. For the past few days, these people have been trying to attack India's Sanatan faith. The Congress and SP, which supported the Babri structure in Ayodhya, have changed their colours like a chameleon. They are now claiming that faith is being insulted in Ayodhya. Since when have they developed faith in Ayodhya? The forefathers of Ram devotees fought the battle for Ayodhya, so they have the right to speak. But the Congress and SP have no right to speak on Ayodhya." |
