Stampedes, chaos now hallmark of SP rallies: Yogi

Stampedes, chaos now hallmark of SP rallies: Yogi

Jaunpur (UP), May 22 (UNI) Ridiculing the mass frenzy seen at SP rallies lately, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday said "stampedes, clashes, chaos and shadow boxing have become regular occurrences at the election rallies and meeting of Samajwadi Party".
Addressing a public meeting at Government Inter College Mungar Badshahpur here in Jaunpur, in favour of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate, Kripashankar Singh, the CM said: "Five phases of Lok Sabha elections have passed. There is a unified voice across the nation 'Phir ek bar Modi Sarkar' and 'Abki bar 400 par'."
He claimed that resonant chants of these slogans have upset beyond measure, the SP, "a regional party contesting elections on only 60-62 seats".
To ensure that he left no stones unturned in belittling the Samajwadi Party, Yogi also mentioned that in Khajuraho in Madhya Pradesh, where SP candidate filed his nomination incorrectly. "Now there is none from SP in the fray to contest that seat."
Watching the frenzy among supporters of Congress and SP, Adityanath said: "Despite being away from power, members of SP and Congress fail to respect their leaders. It is no secret how they would exploit the people of UP if they were in power."
Yogi said that Congress has intentionally aligned itself with the tainted, corrupt, and dynastic parties, committing to causing chaos and disorder in the country.
"Under Modi ji's leadership, significant strides have been made in development and welfare for the poor in India's evolving landscape. While under Modi ji's leadership, India provides free rations to 80 crore people, 23 crore people in Pakistan are suffering from hunger."
He said, "Those who praise Pakistan should pack their bags by June 4 and refrain from being a burden on India. They should seek refuge in Pakistan and plead there."
The CM said that if the Modi government comes to power this time, every individual above 70 years of age will be entitled to receive medical treatments worth Rs 5 lakh under Ayushman Bharat. "Four crore houses have been constructed for the impoverished across the country, and housing for the remaining impoverished individuals will also be provided this time," he said.
He reiterated that the manifesto of the INDI alliance proposes that if the Congress government assumes power, reservation benefits allocated for backward classes, scheduled castes and scheduled tribes will be given to Muslims.
"Upon gaining power, these parties intend to conduct property surveys and impose taxes on inherited ancestral property, subsequently allocating half of the proceeds to Muslim infiltrators from Pakistan and Bangladesh. Such actions must be prevented to curb exploitation and plunder," he claimed.
Yogi said, "This inheritance tax mirrors Aurangzeb's Jizya tax. No one should be subjected to Jizya tax in independent India. Shahjahan wrote in his biography that no one should have a son like Aurangzeb. Aurangzeb's Jizya tax targeted Hindus. The ideology akin to Aurangzeb's that permeates the SP and Congress alliance must be exposed," he said.
He highlighted the contrast between the Ram Bhakts, who are committed to strengthening India by dedicating themselves to Lord Ram, and the Ram drohis, who oppose both India and Ram. "They say don't provoke Pakistan; it has an atomic bomb. A country like Pakistan, which struggles for sustenance, is threatening a vast nation like India, which has the largest emerging economy. The Ram drohis engage in casteist and family-based politics and also incite caste-based conflicts," he said.
He said that Kripa Shankar Singh, born into an ordinary family, has carved out a distinctive identity in Mumbai through sheer hard work and dedication. "On May 25, accompany every voter to the polling booth so that they can vote for the lotus symbol. Let the SP candidates, which has failed to address the public's needs for water, recognition, development, and combating mafia influence, lose their security deposits," he said.
