Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has said that only a Ram bhakt (devotee of Lord Ram) will rule Delhi and that people will dump the Congress and the Samajwadi Party, which follow the politics of appeasement, in obscurity in the 2024 Lok Sabha election.

Addressing an election rally in Pipiganj on Tuesday morning in support Gorakhpur MP and Bharatiya Janata Party candidate Ravi Kishan Shukla, he  labeled the Congress and SP as ‘Ram drohis’, stating, “The Lok Sabha elections 2024 is between ‘Ram bhakts’ and ‘Ram drohis.

The chief minister stated that during his election tours across the country, he observed widespread support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi with a common sentiment resonating from all areas: ‘Jo Ram ko laye hain, hum unko layenge’.

According to the Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Ram drohis are those who deny existence of Lord Ram, attack his devotees, and undermine the significance of the Ram temple whereas Ram bhakts are the ones who have enshrined Lord Ram in his magnificent temple, ending devotees’ wait of 500 years.  The Ram temple symbolises India’s enduring faith, he remarked.

Criticising the Congress and the SP for their views on the Ram temple, a symbol of pride and reverence for all Indians, Yogi mentioned, “Congress says that the construction of the temple has sent a wrong message globally and should not have been built, whereas the SP dismisses the temple as ‘useless’. The leaders of both parties seem to have lost their minds.”

“The Ram bhakts have also built an international airport named after Maharishi Valmiki in Ayodhya, a waiting room named after Shri Ram’s friend Nishadraj, and a restaurant named after Mata Shabari. Furthermore, they have also installed a 56-foot statue in honour of Nishadraj in Prayagraj,” he pointed out, stressing, no follower of Nishadraj could align with the traitors of Lord Ram.

He cautioned people against the mischievous designs of those who once ordered opening fire on Ram devotees.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath asserted, “Adversaries of Lord Ram have never found lasting peace. Regardless of their stature or power, they have always faced downfall.”

He emphasised, “Ram devotees, with the blessings of the Lord, are focused on progress and development. Today, Ram devotees are working towards the nation’s development, from expanding roads from two lanes to twelve lanes, building AIIMS, medical colleges, IITs, IIMs, and airports, to providing tap water to every household and promoting industrialisation.”

 He added, “The Modi government, devoted to Ram, has constructed homes for four crore impoverished people, with more to come after the government is formed again on June 4. Initiatives like the Ayushman Yojana for healthcare and the Ujjwala Yojana for providing free LPG connections are a few contributions of this Ram bhakta government.”

Yogi Adityanath announced that once the government of Ram devotees is re-elected on June 4, Ayushman cards will be made available to everyone over 70.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath remarked, “The Congress party had removed the late Veer Bahadur Singh from chief minister’s post because of his devotion to Lord Ram and his role in opening the lock of the Ram temple in Ayodhya.”

Yogi Adityanath contrasted the achievements of the Modi government with the misrule prevalent during the Congress and SP regimes. He stated, “During the SP’s rule in the state and Congress rule at the Centre, the poor suffered from hunger, farmers committed suicide, youth migrated for jobs, and daughters and businessmen were unsafe.”

He added: “There was a lack of housing and water provisions for the poor, and innocent children died from diseases like encephalitis. Terrorist incidents were rampant, with attacks on the Ram temple in Ayodhya and the Sankatmochan temple in Varanasi taking place during the SP government and bombings in Delhi, Mumbai and Ahmedabad happening under Congress rule.”

Yogi Adityanath said that the Congress government always blamed terrorists from across the border for terror activities within India whenever the issue was raised in Parliament. “However, under Modi’s leadership, terrorism and Naxalism have been eradicated from the country, while India’s global respect has increased manifold,” he remarked.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath asserted, “The Modi government is making the country safe and powerful whereas the Congress-SP alliance is conspiring against India. According to their manifesto, if they come to power, they will implement personal laws akin to Taliban rule, snatching the freedom of daughters to go to school, or market, and confine them within the four walls of their houses, wearing a veil.”

Yogi Adityanath, however, emphasised, “India will be governed by the Constitution drafted by Baba Saheb Bhimrao Ambedkar, and not by ‘Sharia law’ as proposed by the Congress and the SP. They will not be allowed to tamper with the Constitution under any circumstances.”

He added, “Congress and SP seek power to loot the nation and exploit the common people and also intend to take away reservation rights of the backwards and Scheduled Castes and give them away to Muslims, which will not be permitted.”

He cited Baba Saheb Bhimrao Ambedkar, who asserted that reservations cannot be based on religion.
