UP CM Yogi Adityanath likened BJP's rivals to the antagonists "Duryodhan" and "Dushasan" from the Mahabharat saga. He drew parallels between PM Modi's leadership guiding the party to victory in the ongoing Lok Sabha electoral battle to Lord Krishna's guidance in the epic.
During a public meeting in Orai of Jalaun Lok Sabha constituency in support of Union Minister Bhanu Prasad Verma, Adityanath said "This election is not about polarisation. It's about Rambhakts (followers of Lord Ram) and Ramdrohis (betrayers of Lord Ram)."
He claimed that people who have opposed Lord Ram have always been defeated and brought to their knees. "On one side are those who have betrayed Lord Ram, those who have targeted Ram devotees by firing on them, and those who praise Pakistan while betraying the nation.""Against these 'Duryodhans' and 'Dushasans' of this Mahabharat, today Prime Minister Modi has assumed the role of Krishna, guiding the BJP," he also said, PTI reported.
SP, BSP, And Congress Surrenders Bundelkhand To Mafia: CM
He asserted that the opposition leaders are "unconcerned about caste, country, faith, the poor, farmers or women. Their only concern is their family. In contrast, for Modi ji, India's 140 crore people are his family." He also claimed that SP, BSP, and Congress had "surrendered" Bundelkhand to the mafia, exploiting its resources and pushing the region towards chaos.
"Development was hindered, leading to youth migration, farmer suicides, and insecurity among daughters and businessmen," he added.
The chief minister launched a vicious attack on the opposition parties, claiming that "terrorist blasts and attacks on Ram devotees were common" under the Samajwadi Party and Congress regimes.
He further added, "Now we can proudly say the Ram Lalla is in a grand temple for which countless Hindus sacrificed their lives".
