Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday came down heavily on Congress and alleged it Rs insulting martyrdom’ of security forces and urged people to defeat Congress candidates in Assembly polls.
Addressing a campaign rally for the second phase of Assembly polls in industrial city Raigarh, Adityanath accused Congress of "insulting martyrdom" of security forces engaged in anti-Naxal operations by terming Naxals as "revolutionaries". "Congress has done nothing except dividing the society on the basis of caste, region, religion, and language,’’ he remarked at a well attended election rally here.
“During its 55-year rule in the country, Congress always encouraged poverty, misrule, terrorism, Naxalism, and corruption,’’ he stated. Without naming Uttar Pradesh Congress president Raj Babbar, Adityanath said, "a leader of UP Congress had termed Naxals as revolutionaries which is an insult to the martyrdom of security forces fighting Naxals".
He said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP with a slogan of Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas has launched public welfare schemes for the inclusive development of people belonging to all sections of society.
“During the Congress rule, mining and forest mafia, cattle trafficking and Naxalism were at an all-time high in Chhattisgarh but the BJP Government contained all these issues,’’ he opined.
