Shajapur/Dewas (MP), Nov 7 (UNI) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday attacked Congress accusing it for attempting to distort and insult India’s history and said during the Congress era history was manipulated to portray Akbar as great while undermining the greatness of Maharana Pratap.
Addressing election rallies in support Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidates during campaigning fo assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh, Yogi sad, “BJP recognises the eminence of Maharana Pratap and Chhatrapati Shivaji.”
He accused Congress of denying the existence of Ram and Shri Krishna. “For them, the history of India begins with Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru. They refer to themselves as accidental. In UP term mafia has now become a thing of the past,” he said.
The UP CM held a rally in support of BJP candidate Inder Singh Parmar in Shujalpur.
Addressing the rally, he said, “You and your ancestors had struggled and wished for the Ram temple. We are fortunate to witness the completion of that work with our own eyes. On January 22, Ram Lalla will be consecrated in his temple by Prime Minister Modi’s hands.”
Yogi said, “Congress consistently presents challenges and seems uninterested in finding solutions. While Congress advocated for no change, the Ram devotees took a resolute stand to dismantle the remnants of oppression. In the ongoing election battle, one side comprises the Ram devotees, while the other represents the anti-Ram people.”
He said, “On one side are patriotic individuals who kindle the flames of education, while on the other, liquor mafias are leading our youth towards destruction by serving them alcohol. Allowing mafia figures to contest elections poses a serious risk to the future of our youth and we are steadfast in our resolve to keep liquor mafias and criminals out of the political arena.”
The UP CM conducted his second public meeting in support of Kalapipal Assembly candidate Ghanshyam Chandravanshi. During this event, he asserted that Congress has no genuine concern for India and its values.
He criticised Congress for its past stance, alleging that the party once claimed that only Muslims had a rightful claim to the country’s resources, which left Hindus in a precarious position. He insisted that the nation and the younger generation should not forget how Congress practiced discrimination.
Yogi said, “For those who have turned politics into a career, who have made it an inherited legacy, and who engage in deceptive and harmful tactics in the name of politics, it is time to permanently close their political establishments.”
He said, “They see communalism in the construction of Kashi Vishwanath Dham, Mahakal Lok, Ram Temple, but they see goodwill in the love jihadis who spew the poison of jihadi mentality. Ram Mandir is a symbol of communalism for them and nationalism for us.”
In Khategaon, the CM emphasised that instead of prioritizing the nation, Congress appeared to be preoccupied with its own family interests. He regarded it as a tragic situation for Congress, which was unable to liberate itself from dynastic politics.
He cited the Modi government’s decisive move in permanently abolishing Article 370. He said that wherever Congress has influence, problems arise and he made an appeal to eliminate Congress in the upcoming elections, believing that doing so would put an end to the problems.
Yogi said, “If Congress, which claims to be the oldest party, is forgetting great men, it has no right to exist.”
He said that there has not been a single riot in UP in six and a half years because there is a double engine government there. He contrasted this with the past when parallel mafia-run governments operated.
