Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday mocked the Congress-SP alliance in Uttar Pradesh, saying it needed to learn from CM Yogi Adityanath what to bulldoze and what not. He said that if the I.N.D.I.A bloc won, Ram Lalla would be moved back to a tent. PM Modi said: "If the Congress-SP alliance comes to power, the Ayodhya Ram Mandir would be demolished using a bulldozer... They should learn from Yogiji where to run a bulldozer and where not."

PM Modi's statement comes a day after Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal claimed that Amit Shah and PM Modi were planning to remove Yogi Adityanath as the CM of UP. He said Yogi Adityanath would be removed in two months to pave the way for Shah to become the Prime Minister on September 17, 2025, the day PM Modi turns 75.

PM Modi further said: "Today, you have BJP-led NDA for the betterment of the country on one hand and on the other, you have the INDI alliance to create disturbances. As the polling phases advance, the INDI alliance members are beginning to fall apart."

He alleged a conspiracy by the Congress-SP alliance in UP. "They want to reverse the court's judgment [on Ram Mandir]. I am worried about this because of their track record. They only want their family and power," he said.

PM Modi said Opposition leaders lose sleep when he 'exposes' them. "Babasaheb Ambedkar opposed religion-based reservation... The Opposition made a laboratory in Karnataka. They gave the OBC reservations to Muslims," he said.

Taking a potshot at former Bihar CM and RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, PM Modi said: "The champion of the fodder scam in Bihar is saying all reservations should go to Muslims... I am asking for 400 seats to protect your voters'] rights. "
