Hathras, 28 June (HS): Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on

Sunday launched a scathing attack on Samajwadi Party national president

Akhilesh Yadav. He said that those who

talk about making Ayodhya a religious city should first look at their own

history. The Samajwadi Party government, which opened fire on Ram devotees,

opposed the Ram Janmabhoomi movement, banned Krishna Janmashtami celebrations,

and even restricted the Kanwar Yatra, is today talking about making Ayodhya a religious

city.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday inaugurated/laid

the foundation stone of 143 development projects worth more than Rs 548 crore

in Hathras, Sikandrarao and Sadabad assembly constituencies. He also

distributed house keys, smart phones and cheques under the Yuva Udyami Yojana

to the beneficiaries. During the programme, he inspected the exhibitions of

various departments. During this, he fed milk to a little girl with a spoon

near the stall and took her in his lap and caressed her.

Chief Minister Yogi said he was surprised to read Akhilesh

Yadav's statement in which he had said that if his government is formed,

Ayodhya will be made a religious city. He said, Hey, what religious city

will you make? First look at your own history. Your own Samajwadi Party

government had opened fire on Ram devotees. Today, under the leadership of

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Ayodhya seems to be bringing to life the memories

of the Treta Yuga. Due to the hard work and efforts of Ram devotees, Ayodhya has

become a center of attraction for devotees from all over the world. In such a

situation, now even the Samajwadi Party has started remembering Ayodhya.

We don't need graveyards, we need temples: The Chief

Minister alleged that the Samajwadi Party government had even stopped Sri

Krishna Janmashtami celebrations in police stations and jails. The Kanwar Yatra

was also banned. Now, more than 22 temples in Hathras have been beautified, but

this work would never have been possible under the Samajwadi Party government.

Back then, this money was spent on building boundary walls for graveyards. We

have diverted that money to temples. We need temples, not graveyards, because

temples are the center of our faith.

Visit Ram Lalla, perhaps you will come to your senses: The

Chief Minister advised Akhilesh Yadav to stop worrying about Ayodhya because

Ayodhya does not need anyone for its identity. Akhilesh ji, Ayodhya has been

decorated and beautified by Ram devotees. You do not worry about it. Repent and

visit Ram Lalla once, perhaps you will come to your senses. If SP really wants

to respect religious faith then it should openly speak in favor of

Mathura-Vrindavan and Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi. The Chief Minister said that

just like the Ram Janmabhoomi Mukti Andolan was carried out, in the same way

Samajwadi Party should openly talk about running a campaign for the liberation

of Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi.

The angry cat scratches the pole: Chief Minister Yogi said that

his government is working on a war footing to provide all basic amenities to

the devotees visiting Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi. But the Samajwadi Party lacks

the courage because its entire agenda is limited to appeasement politics.

Akhilesh ji, you lack courage. Beyond bowing to the mullahs and clerics, you

have no agenda for the development of the state, the upliftment of Ayodhya,

Mathura, and Kashi, or the strengthening of their mythological identities. Stop

fooling the public. Don't live up to the saying A disgruntled cat

scratches the pole. Ayodhya is recognized worldwide and doesn't need a

certificate from any political party.

Before 2017, riots, curfews, and mafia were the hallmarks of

Uttar Pradesh. Today, Uttar Pradesh has become a model of development and

security. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that development is possible only

where there is a strong security and law and order environment. The three

assembly constituencies have received projects worth approximately Rs. 548

crore, for which he congratulates all residents. Hopes and aspirations for

development are fulfilled only in a better security environment. Where riots,

disturbances, and frequent curfews are prevalent, development and a bright

future cannot even be imagined.

He said that before 2017, Uttar Pradesh was in a similar

situation. There was hardly a single district without riots. The Jawaharbagh

incident in Mathura, the Kosikalan riots, and the riots in Meerut, Aligarh, and

Muzaffarnagar had become the state's hallmarks. Curfews were imposed every

other or third month, bringing business to a standstill, young people losing

their jobs, and tarnishing the state's image across the country. However, the

situation has completely changed in the last nine years. Now, there are no

riots, no curfews, and no hooliganism tolerated in Uttar Pradesh. During

Muharram, nearly 12,000 processions were taken out across the state, but

nowhere did a riot, disturbance, or curfew occur. Hathras will no longer be

deprived of development. The industrial sector here is rapidly developing. Due

to its connection to the Mathura-Bareilly four-lane, investment is increasing

and industries are being established.

Before 2017, the youth of Uttar Pradesh used to hide their

identity: Chief Minister Yogi said that good governments, along with

development, provide welfare to the poor, employment to the youth, respect to

women, and security to businessmen. The government is also continuously taking

effective steps to increase the income of farmers. The decision of one vote can

change the future of the state. When the public presses the lotus button and

elects BJP and NDA candidates, in return, the safety of businessmen is ensured,

the security of daughters is strengthened, and employment opportunities for

youth increase. Today, when youth from Uttar Pradesh travel to other states,

they no longer have to hide their identity. Before 2017, the youth of the state

avoided revealing their identity because previous governments had tarnished the

state's image.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath personally handed over house

keys, cheques, Ayushman cards and smartphone phones to beneficiaries Durgesh

Kumar, Chandra Prakash, Preeti, Sonia, Jyoti, Meena Devi, Radha Devi, Vimal

Raju, Mamta and Margashree. Present on the occasion were MP Anup Pradhan

Valmiki, MLA Anjula Singh Mahor, MLA Birendra Singh Rana, MLA Pradeep Kumar,

senior BJP leader Dinesh Sharma, District President Prem Singh Kushwaha, Lok

Dal District President Shyam Chaudhary, Apna Dal (S) District President Ravi

Saraswat and others.
