Aligarh (UP), Aug 28 (UNI) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday alleged that Congress and Samajwadi Party (SP), driven by Jinnah’s spirit, are attempting to divide society in the same manner.
Speaking at a district-level mega employment fair, he said, “Jinnah committed the grave sin of dividing the nation, which led to his suffocating demise. Congress and SP are committing a similar sin by dividing society.”
During the event, he distributed appointment letters to the youth and inaugurated as well as laid the foundation stones for 305 projects worth Rs 705 crore.
He said that as the country reaches new milestones in development, some are working to fragment society.
Yogi said, “Since Prime Minister Modi took office in 2014, the nation has been advancing. Meanwhile, the opposition is fostering anarchy by sowing seeds of caste discord in society.”
Targeting SP, he said, “Those who achieved nothing during their tenure and were known only for their ‘karname’ (misdeeds), are unsettled by the rule of law in the state. These are the same SP individuals who once justified misconduct with the excuse. They were responsible for compromising the safety of daughters.”
He criticised the SP chief, saying he has no right to comment on women’s safety.
“His silence on incidents in Ayodhya, Kannauj and Kolkata speaks volumes,” he taunted.
The CM criticised Congress, SP and BSP for undermining social cohesion whenever they were in power.
He accused them of using appeasement strategies to divert society from the path of development.
Emphasising that under PM Modi’s leadership, India is on track to become the world’s largest economy, he said, “Congress has disrespected national heroes such as Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee and Maharaja Mahendra Pratap Singh. The BJP is dedicated to honouring these great figures, as evidenced by the university established in Maharaja Mahendra Pratap Singh’s name.”
He criticised Congress and SP, accusing them of focusing solely on their own interests.
He asserted that the double-engine government practices non-discrimination and will not tolerate anarchy, disorder or hooliganism.
Yogi said that prior to 2017, UP was grappling with an identity crisis.
“Today, UP is recognised as one of the leading states in the country. Therefore, we must ensure that this progress continues, as the Samajwadi Party, if given the chance, would bring about riots, looting, and anarchy,” he said.
He emphasised that development is indispensable, and employment naturally follows from it, with security being its cornerstone.
“Good governance cannot be achieved without security,” he said.
Yogi highlighted that employment fairs, inspired by PM Modi, are being held across the state, providing youth with opportunities in the private sector, he said.
During this district-level mega Rozgar Mela, over 63 companies and firms issued appointment letters to more than 5,000 youth across various positions.
Loans exceeding Rs 35 crore were granted to eligible individuals and MSME units through various schemes.
Moreover, tablets and smartphones were distributed to over 1,500 students under the Swami Vivekananda Yuva Sashaktikaran Yojana.
