On Tuesday, a massive turnout of crowds greeted Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath as people gathered on rooftops and at rallies to watch and listen to him. Chief Minister Yogi was in Rajasthan, seeking votes for Bharatiya Janata Party in the upcoming elections.
The Bhilwara rally of Yogi Adityanath, especially, attracted an impressive gathering of over 50,000 people. The chants of ‘Bulldozer Baba’, ;Yogi-Yogi’, and ‘Dekho-Dekho Sher Aaya’ echoed through various rallies.
Throughout the day, the chief minister addressed five rallies, actively campaigning and seeking support for BJP candidates.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, during his address, highlighted the emergence of the mafia, which has hindered development in the state over the last five years. He contrasted this with the situation in Uttar Pradesh, where he stated that those inciting riots have faced consequences.
“Uttar Pradesh ke dangayi narak lok ki yatra par gaye hain. Ab unhein manushya lok nahi milne wala (UP's rioters have gone on a journey to hell. They will never come to the human world again),” he remarked.
While addressing a public meeting in support of BJP candidate Banshilal Katara in Dungarpur, Chief Minister Yogi highlighted the transformative impact of the BJP government in Uttar Pradesh. He noted the significant illumination of Ayodhya with the lighting of lakhs of lamps during the Deepotsav celebrations year after year since the BJP came to power. Contrasting it with the state of affairs in Rajasthan, Yogi expressed concern over the plight of the people of the state in the past five years, emphasising the state’s previous trajectory of development under the leadership of the double-engine government.
Chief Minister Yogi pointed out that Rajasthan now faces challenges, including the burden of the highest electricity, petrol and diesel prices. He shared the international acclaim received by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is welcomed with great respect during his visits abroad. “This is the honour of 142 crore Indians. Now the hideouts of terrorists and their masters are being destroyed. Curfew-riots are the identity of Congress.”
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, while urging the public to support BJP candidate Narpat Singh Rajvi in Chittorgarh, instilled pride in the rich heritage of Chittorgarh and Mewar. “This land has a history of bravery and valour for hundreds of years,” he said.
During his address, CM Yogi fondly remembered iconic figures such as Maharana Pratap, Maharana Sanga, Panna Dhay, Maharani Padmini and Mirabai. He also discussed Udai Sagar Lake. “Even a horse like Chetak had developed the qualities of divinity,” he said. Chittorgarh Fort, visible from the venue, was also discussed.
