May 21, 2024

Sant Kabir Nagar (Uttar Pradesh) [India], May 21 : As the date of the sixth phase of Lok Sabha elections approaches, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has stepped up his attacks on the Congress and Samajwadi Party alliance and said that the "parties have formed an alliance with dangerous intentions, and we should not let their alliance succeed."
The remarks by UP CM come amidst a public rally in the state's Sant Kabir Nagar, where he was garnering support for BJP candidate Praveen Nishad.
Coming down heavily on Congress and SP, CM Yogi Adityanath said, "They have no agenda and the alliance of Congress and SP was done to break into the reservation of SC, ST, and OBC. They say that if they come to power, they will take half of the reservation rights of SCs and STs and give them away to Muslims."
He added further, "They say that if they come to power, they will impose inheritance tax. In this inheritance tax, they will take away the property of your ancestors like land, money, cows, and buffaloes, impose a tax on it and snatch half of the property. 'Ek khatarnak mansha ke sath Congress aur SP ka gathbandhan hua hai aur hame inke gathbandhan ko safal nahi hone dena hai' (They have allied with a dangerous intention and we should not let their alliance succeed.)"
Adityanath compared inheritance tax with Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb's Jajiya Kar and said, "The soul of Aurangzeb has entered into SP and Congress and we cannot let their intentions win."
Bringing Ram in his speech, Adityanath also claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is standing together with the 'Ram bhakts' while on the other hand are all the 'Ram Drohis' who want to stop PM Modi.
The UP CM also went on to talk about various policies and schemes of the Modi government and said, "60 crore people are receiving the benefit of Ayushman Bharat worth Rs 5 lakh every year. Jan Dhan accounts have been opened up for the poors... Be it pension or any other government allowance, it is reaching directly into your accounts with no commission in between."
He added further, "12 crore farmers in the country got Kisan Samman Nidhi. Toilets have been constructed in 12 crore poor households. 10 crore poor people have received gas connection under Ujjawala Yojana, 4 crore poor people have got houses.
Meanwhile, Yogi Adityanath also took to his official X handle and posted about his rally in Santkabirnagar. He said, "The public support received in Sant Kabir Nagar Lok Sabha constituency is further strengthening the resolve of 'Abki baar, 400 paar'. The people here have made up their mind to make lotus bloom once again. Thank you, residents of Sant Kabir Nagar Lok Sabha constituency!"
BJP's Praveen Nishad will be in a poll battle against SP's Laxmikant Pappu Nishad. Sant Kabir Nagar will go to the polls in the sixth phase of Lok Sabha elections on May 25.
