Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said on Wednesday that Muzaffarnagar was safe and peaceful today only because of the presence of the Bharatiya Janata Party Government in Uttar Pradesh, and warned people against Samajwadi Party and Rashtriya Lok Dal combine’s conspiracy to create a “Taliban rule” in the State.
“Farmers could not go to their lands as their tubewell connections were disconnected, machines were stolen and their throats slit. Besides, girls could not go to school and women to markets because of safety issues.
And people were forced to flee Kairana and Kandala during SP and RLD rule. People can never forget the cruelty meted out to Sachin and Gaurav during SP’s rule”, Yogi remarked.
Urging people not to allow professional criminals of SP to enter the realms of power and to vote for the BJP in much larger numbers, while campaigning for BJP candidate Rajkumari Saini, wife of former BJP MLA Vikram Saini, Yogi said that the “Kawal ka bawal” was a curse of SP, adding that strictness was necessary to restore rule of law in UP and that was what his government did after taking over – “dealing with such elements in the language they understood the best”.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that strangely RLD that stood for farmers’ interest and never supported criminals during late Chaudhary Charan Singh’s time also became SP’s partner in crime later on, serving as “daal mein tadka” even though farmers never received a fair deal during the SP government.
The chief minister added: “Vikram Singh Saini lost his membership not because of some family issue but because of trying to protect Muzaffarnagar’s dignity and self-respect. It was a politically motivated and fabricated case.” Yogi pointed out that the double-engine government of the BJP in UP was following the mantra of ‘Sabka Saath aur Sabka Vikaas’ to benefit the entire population, irrespective of caste or creed, with the development taking place and was extending the benefits of government welfare schemes to everyone without discriminating against, or appeasing anyone.
“We provided the benefits of Prime Minister Awas Yojana and Chief Minister Awas Yojana to every poor, toilets to every needy, in addition to electricity connections under Saubhagya Yojana and gas cylinders under Ujjwala Yojana to crores of deserving people. We are also providing an annual pension of Rs 12,000 to the elderly, to destitute women and widows and the differently-abled”, he added.
Yogi said: “It’s a land of religion and sends the message of peace. But when religion is in crisis, it has revolted also. Kanwar yatra, which could not take place during SP rule, was being taken out with much fanfare now and would be even grander once Gang Nahar is allowed to be built by the Forest department. Khalauli also boasts of having the biggest sugar mill today.”
“Ram temple is being built in Ayodhya while Kashi and Mathura have been renovated and beautified. Mahendra Pratap Singh University is being built in Aligarh whereas Dhyanchand Sports University is also being constructed,” he added.
Meanwhile, Yogi Adityanath thanked independent candidates Ravindra and Pradeep Thakur as well as Chaudhary Yashveer Singh, Abhishek Chaudhary, Bhopal Singh Gurjar for announcing their support for the BJP candidate.
