Entire country has faith in PM Modi’s guarantee: UP CM Adityanath

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday accused the previous governments of unleashing a reign of terror and said that those who are pointing a finger at Prime Minister Narendra Modi are a hindrance in India’s development.

Addressing the intellectuals meeting in Hathras and Bulandshahr, Adityanath said, ”Viksit Bharat (developed India) and all-round development is Modi’s guarantee. In developed India, every person, caste and community should get respect and opportunity to move forward without any discrimination. There should be no casteism and dynasticism. There should be development for all and this is the basis of the concept of developed India.” The chief minister said the entire country has faith in Prime Minister Modi’s guarantee.

Addressing the Prabudha Sammelan in Bulandshahr, Adityanath lamented the state’s tumultuous past during the previous governments, alleging that they followed a ”riot policy”, which unleashed a reign of terror in Bulandshahr.

”The relentless cycle of riots, curfews and lawlessness jeopardized the safety of both daughters and business people, tarnishing Bulandshahr’s image,” he remarked.

Comparing the present situation with earlier times, the chief minister said the common people are today revelling in the newfound security while criminals were feeling the heat.

Speaking about Bulandshahr, Adityanath said, ”Bulanshahr’s existence can be traced back to the Mahabharata era. It’s a land blessed by Mother Ganga and Mother Yamuna. But the previous government’s pro-criminal policies turned it into a land of crime and terror.” The chief minister emphasized the importance of voting responsibly, highlighting the stark contrast between fostering hooliganism and witnessing tangible development under Prime Minister Modi’s visionary leadership.

”Every vote wields the power to either sow chaos or foster respect for faith while bolstering livelihood prospects,” he remarked.

Acknowledging Bulandshahr’s pivotal role, Adityanath reflected on the oppressive reign of previous administrations where the voices of common citizens were stifled.

”In those times, traders, daughters, employees, farmers and youth lived in constant insecurity, while only a select few miscreants enjoyed safety. However, a significant transformation has occurred today. The tables have turned with miscreants feeling the heat and the public experiencing a newfound sense of security,” he asserted.

Reflecting on the divisive tactics employed by previous administrations, the chief minister lamented how they sowed seeds of discord based on caste, creed and religion, ultimately fracturing the social fabric.

Exuding confidence of the NDA’s victory on all the 80 seats of Uttar Pradesh, Adityanath said the state will present Prime Minister Modi with a garland of ’80 beads’ (seat) this time.

”We have seen Modi’s guarantee reaching the ground level. Hence, the entire country has faith in Modi’s guarantee,” he said in Hathras.

”Those who are pointing a finger at Modi are a hindrance (‘avrodhak’) in India’s development. These are the barriers in the path of developed India. ”We have to remove these barriers and work to realise the vision of a safe and prosperous India under the leadership of Modi ji,” he added.

Adityanath on this occasion sought vote for Anoop Valmiki ‘Pradhan’, the BJP candidate from Hathras Lok Sabha seat where polling is slated for May 7.

The chief minister said that this election is between family first and nation first.

”It is a choice of appeasement versus India’s faith. We have to see whether those who imposed anarchy, riots and curfew will come back to power or Modi’s government will come which will provide riot-free, curfew-free and safe environment, which has given the benefits of governance schemes without discrimination. Neither caste, nor region nor language were seen and everyone was given the benefits of development schemes in an equal manner,” he said.

Adityanath said that there is a BJP government in the state, so there is security and development, and poor welfare schemes seem to be getting implemented at the ground level, a BJP statement said.

”There is a feeling of belongingness in the minds of people. The wishes of the religious leaders were also fulfilled. The work for which generations were yearning, progressed and Ram Lalla was consecrated in Ayodhya.

Trikaldarshi (one who can see past, present and future) Maharishi Valmiki did the work of communicating with Lord Ram. Ayodhya airport was also named after Maharishi Valmiki,” Adityanath said.

Seven Parliamentary constituencies, including Bulandshahr (SC), will go to polls in the second phase on April 26 while ten parliamentary constituencies, including Hathras (SC), will go to polls in the third phase on May 7.

Counting of votes will be held on June 4.
