Religious tolerance and harmony highlighted in Akbarpur speech

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday said that if you go by the statements of the opposition parties, the battle in the current elections is between ”Rambhakts” and ”Ramdrohis”.

Addressing an election rally for the Akbarpur Lok Sabha seat at Patara Railway Station premises in Ghatampur, the Chief Minister said, “Statements of Opposition parties show that these elections are between ‘Rambhakts’ and ‘Ramdrohis’. Those who are ‘Rambhakts’ are also ‘Rashtrabhakts.'” The CM made this comment while seeking support for BJP candidate Devendra Singh Bhole. ‘These are not merely elections to form a government. “On one hand, the country is being established as a new Aatmanirbhar Bharat under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, while on the other hand, ‘Ramdrohis’ are working to divide us on the basis of caste and regional identities,” he said.

Adityanath also said, “The mere mention of ‘Akbarpur’ often creates hesitation.” ‘This will all change. We must end the signs of slavery and honor our heritage,” he said, adding that the region must be integrated with the mainstream of development and for this “active participation through voting in the ongoing national campaign is essential.” “Terrorists are glorified and mafia encouraged,” the CM, originally a priest, said in an apparent attack on his opponents.

He alleged that there was a conspiracy to grant the rights of Scheduled Castes, Tribes and Backward Castes to minorities.

He accused the UPA government, then backed by the Samajwadi Party and the Bahujan Samaj Party, of recommending giving six percent reservation to Muslims from the share reserved for the backward classes on the basis of the Ranganath Mishra Committee. He asserted that Congress should withdraw the proposal only if the BJP opposed it.

The CM alleged that the Congress, even on the basis of the Sachar Commission report, had conspired to include some Muslim castes in the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.

“The Congress has consistently engaged in divisive politics, promoting division within the nation and actively promoting terrorism and separatism in various regions. Congress has again promised to make such reservations in its manifesto this time,” he said.

Adityanath said his government is currently conducting a survey to assess the potential for sugarcane cultivation in the area.

There are plans to set up a sugar and ethanol complex in the region, he said.
