Bulandshahr: As the war of words in the run-up to the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections escalate, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath alleged the Samajwadi Party has released a “list for destruction” by naming criminals as its candidates.
Adityanath categorically stated that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will not compromise on the issues of security and development.
“They were dreaming of making a Kashmir here through Kairana, to these elements we have said - Kashmir is now turning into heaven and western Uttar Pradesh is achieving new heights in development,” he said here on Saturday, PTI reported.
Continuing his diatribe, Adityanath said the law had caught up with mafia and rioters, who were earlier functioning with impunity.
Asserting only his party can ensure the rule of law, development of all and end to appeasement politics, he said: “For this, the right intent is necessary and only the BJP has it.”
Highlighting his government’s welfare works in Uttar Pradesh, Adityanath said that the BJP worked to save the life and livelihood of people during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Alleging that the Samajwadi Party leaders worked for prosperity of their families and neglected the common people, he said: “Seeing the list of SP, it seems as if it is a list of destruction and not development. Criminals do not develop but destroy.”
The Chief Minister’s outburst against the Samajwadi Party came as top BJP leaders, including Union Home Minister Amit Shah, launched a door-door campaign in the districts voting in the first phase of the assembly elections on February 10.
Voting for the 403-member Uttar Pradesh Assembly will be held in seven phases from February 10 to March 7.
The counting of votes will be held on March 10.
