Jind: Lashing out at the Congress, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday said that the grand old party’s structure has become as “dilapidated” as the Babri in Ayodhya.  Reiterating his call for unity during an election rally at Narwana in Jind, Adityanath said: “And I have come to make this appeal to you. They want to divide you by doing caste politics. I told you, didn’t I say, ‘batoge to katoge, ek rahoge toh nek rahoge, koi mai ka laal aapka baal banka nahi kar payega’.”

The BJP leader said: “Despite the Congress ruling the country for a long time, they did not name even one airport after Maharishi Valmiki, Sant Ravidas or after B R Ambedkar. They used to name them after their family.”
