UP CM Yogi Adityanath: INDIA bloc & BSP trying to bring Taliban-like government

LUCKNOW: Hitting out at INDIA bloc and BSP for “trying to bring Taliban-like govt”, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday said that while “BSP is not able to find any candidate other than a ‘maulana’, the opposition alliance is planning to implement Sharia law in the country”.

Addressing a rally in Gorakhpur for the seventh and final phase of polling scheduled to take place on June 1, the chief minister said: “While the BJP provides you security and respect, the BSP couldn’t find any candidate other than a ‘maulana’. If they assume power, they will implement personal law and bring a Taliban-like govt.”
CM: Oppn’s inheritance tax proposal is equivalent to Aurangzeb’s ‘jaziya’ tax

This implies that daughters will be deprived of education, women will not be able to go out, and they will have to stay confined to their homes in burqas," Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath added.

At another rally in Ghazipur, he also accused the Samajwadi Party and Congress of trying to implement the Sharia, adding that their proposal of implementing an inheritance tax was equivalent to Mughal king Aurangzeb's 'jaziya' tax.

In another rally in Varanasi, he said that the INDIA alliance was proposing implementation of inheritance tax, suggesting a survey of ancestors' properties and allocating half to infiltrators from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan.

"These parties intend to seize ancestral properties through coercive means and distribute them among infiltrators and Rohingyas," he added.

Campaigning for Parasnath Rai in Ghazipur, the CM said that BJP, who had Ram Bhakts, would not rest until all evil doers were eliminated. He gave the example of the bulldozer which was being used to tackle mafia and criminals. Comparing BJP with the Opposition, the CM said that before 2014, when Ram Bhakts raised the slogan of 'Ram Lalla hum aayenge, Mandir wahin banayenge', Samajwadi Party and Congress used to mock them.

In Varanasi, where he campaigned for former BJP state president Mahendra Nath Pandey who is contesting from Chandauli, the CM said that members of the opposition alliance could not build Ram temple in Ayodhya or the Vishwanath Dham in Varanasi and were not worth supporting.

He highlighted the efforts made by the BJP govt to preserve heritage sites like Kashi Vishwanath Dham, Vindhyavasini Dham corridor, Markandeya Dham and the 'samadhi' of Kachcha Baba. "A society that reveres its heritage is impervious to external pressures and BJP's legacy includes the preservation of India's rich cultural heritage," he said.

Attacking the opposition, he said: "Upon examining the manifestos of Congress and SP, one might infer a pro-Pakistan stance. They propose extending reservation benefits meant for backward classes, scheduled castes, and tribes to Muslims. Nonetheless, Modi ji has emphatically stated that no force on earth can undermine the existing structure of reservations."

Addressing public meetings in Mirzapur and Robertsganj, the CM announced that the medical college in Sonbhadra had been completed and a new university would soon be established there.

Criticising previous govts for having failed to provide development, the CM praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for schemes like the PM Awas Yojna which had benefited over 1 lakh people in Mirzapur alone. In Mirzapur and Sonbhadra, houses had been provided to the Kol, Gaur, Chero, Tharu and Musahar communities.

"Before 2014, residents here struggled for every drop of water. A dire situation persisted here for 70 years after independence under Congress and Samajwadi Party rule. Despite their long tenure, these parties failed to address the water crisis. Now, it is time to make them yearn for every vote," he said.

Describing the development in the region, Yogi said that the Maa Vindhyavasini Corridor project in Vindhyavasini Dham was in its final stages. With the completion of the ropeway, pilgrims would no longer have to endure the hardship of carrying elderly parents on their shoulders for 'darshan', as the journey would become much easier, he said.

In Gorakhpur, the CM said that due to development in the region, Gorakhpur (Rural) was giving tough competition to Gorakhpur (Urban). "The road from Transport Nagar to Tarkulani and from Motiram Adda to Tarkulani has transformed into a bustling thoroughfare, reminiscent of Golghar and Hazratganj in Lucknow. Even the zoo is in Gorakhpur (Rural). The funds allocated for bridges and flood protection have been directed towards Gorakhpur (Rural)," he said.
