Pilibhit (UP), April 9 (UNI) Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday held Congress’ ‘devious tactics’ responsible for the unfortunate partition of the country seven decades back even as he lauded India’s remarkable progress towards global eminence over the past decade under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Addressing a public rally at Dramond Inter College campus, the CM said, “The transformative changes are clearly evident across the country in terms of enhanced security, rapid infrastructural development and the benefits of welfare schemes reaching the underprivileged.”
He urged support for Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidates Jitin Prasada in Pilibhit and Chhatrapal Singh Gangwar in Bareilly. He also extended his warmest wishes for Chaitra Navratri and the Indian New Year.
Having a large number of Sikh presence at the rally, Yogi reflecting on historical significance remarked on the unity symbolised by Guru Nanak Dev’s birthplace, which he asserted was jeopardized by past political divisions. However, he praised the Kartarpur Corridor’s establishment, facilitated by PM Modi’s leadership, as a testament to India’s commitment to Sikh heritage and unity.
He said, “Our Prime Minister Modi has initiated the Veer Bal Diwas celebration on December 26th, commemorating the valour of the four Sahibzadas of Guru Gobind Singh.”
The CM underscored the significant sacrifice made by these revered figures to safeguard the Hindu religion and Indian culture. “Emphasising the importance of honouring their contributions, the PM dedicated December 26 to commemorate their bravery. This initiative has garnered nationwide attention, with events marking the occasion taking place across the country today,” he said.
He described the timely payment of sugarcane prices to the farmers as a significant improvement in the agricultural sector. Noting Pilibhit’s dual reputation for agriculture and artistic heritage, he emphasised the crucial role sugarcane farmers play in delivering the region’s sweetness to the nation and beyond.
Yogi said, “Under Prime Minister Modi’s leadership, efforts have been made to ensure farmers receive their dues promptly, a departure from the prolonged delays they previously faced. This development signifies a positive step towards addressing long standing grievances of sugarcane farmers.”
He emphasised the transformative impact of responsible voting, cautioning against the dire consequences of misplaced ballots.
Drawing attention to the successful construction of Ram Lalla’s temple in Ayodhya, the CM attributed this milestone to Prime Minister Modi’s leadership and vision. Urging support for BJP candidates, he underscored PM Modi’s commitment to realising the vision of a developed India.
He warned against the potential ramifications of entrusting governance into wrong hands, citing issues ranging from national security concerns to the plight of farmers.
Yogi highlighted India’s transformation from a nation trailing behind to emerging as a global powerhouse. Reflecting on the pivotal role of voters in the 2014 and 2019 elections, he attributed India’s progress to the public’s faith in Prime Minister Modi’s leadership.
Emphasising the ongoing metamorphosis of the nation, he urged the citizens to rally behind the slogan ‘Fir Ek Baar Modi Sarkar,’ ‘Abki Baar 400 Par.’ Encouraging active participation in the electoral process, he called upon individuals to vote within the initial three hours of polling and mobilize fellow voters.
