Gorakhpur:
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday alleged that the previous UPA government at the Center tried to reduce reservations for the OBC, SC and ST communities by providing quota to Muslims. But the attempt did not succeed due to the BJP's protest, he added.
“As UPA president from 2004 to 2014, Sonia Gandhi formed Justice Ranganath Mishra's committee to make a dent in OBC reservation and the committee had recommended to give 6% of OBC reservation to Muslims,” told Mr Adityanath to ANI.
“BJP and NDA had protested at that time; their plans could not be implemented and then these people also tried to encroach on the rights of SC, ST and that in the Sachar committee report some castes of Muslims should be included in the scheduled list. Cabinets. The Congress manifesto is divisive. Congress' plans will not materialize and Sonia Gandhi should at least develop the habit of speaking the truth,” he added.
Reacting to the Congress' claim that the BJP is indulging in divisive politics, he accused the Congress of pursuing a 'divide and rule' policy.
“…'Ulta chor kotwaal ko daante'. Everyone is aware that 'divide and rule' has been inherited by the Congress party. The Congress has allowed the cunning trick of the British to divide the country,” Adityanath said .
Earlier in the day, while addressing an election rally for Akbarpur Lok Sabha seat in Kanpur, he said the elections are between 'Ram Bhakts' and 'Ramdrohis'.
He further said that after the end of three phases of Lok Sabha elections, only the slogan 'Phir Ek Baar Modi Sarkar, Abki Baar 400 Paar' is resonating across the country.
“When they don't understand anything, they resort to conspiracies against India. Statements from opposition parties show that these elections will take place between 'Ram Bhakts' and 'Ramdrohis'. Those who are 'Ram Bhakts' are also 'Rashtra Bhakts' of the nation,” he said.
The UP CM urged voters to vote for BJP candidate Devendra Singh Bhole. CM Yogi said that the mere mention of the name 'Akbarpur' often 'creates hesitation'.
“This will all change. We must end the signs of slavery and honor our heritage. This region must be integrated with the mainstream of development. To achieve this goal, active participation through voting in the ongoing national campaign is essential. ” the Prime Minister added.
He stated that it is an “eternal truth” that 'Ramdrohis' have always met their demise and that the 2024 Lok Sabha elections will confirm this truth.
He stressed: “These are not merely elections to form a government. On one hand, under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, the country is being established as a new country and Aatmanirbhar Bharat, while on the other hand, 'Ramdrohis' are working. to divide us on the basis of caste and regional identities.”
“Terrorists are glorified and mafias are encouraged. There is a conspiracy to grant the rights of Scheduled Castes, Tribes and Backward Castes to minorities,” he added.
Attacking the Opposition, CM Yogi said the Ranganath Mishra Committee during the UPA government had recommended giving 6 percent reservation to Muslims by deducting it for backward classes. He added that the Congress withdrew the proposal only after the BJP opposed it.
“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 this time to make such reservations in its manifesto,” he said .
The UP Chief Minister stated that Congress and SP have not expressed condolences over the death of former UP CM Kalyan Singh.
“Similarly, no compassion was shown for the murder of Raju Pal in Prayagraj and lawyer Umesh Pal. Currently, the mafia has been eradicated and justice has been served. Their sympathies lie with the mafia and 'Ramdrohis',” he said.
CM Yogi said the BJP government is currently conducting a survey to assess the potential for sugarcane cultivation in the area and there are plans to set up a sugar and ethanol complex in the region.
“During the SP regime, only guns were manufactured here, but under the Kanpur Defense Corridor, guns will be produced for the nation. When the guns will kill terrorists on the border, the names of Kanpur and UP will resonate in everyone's minds,” he said. the prime minister.
“Only the BJP government can perform such tasks. Whether it is free ration or free healthcare, from the birth of a daughter to her education and marriage arrangements, or providing security to daughters and businessmen, your voice shapes the vision of a new India. ,” he added.
CM Yogi looked at the Congress and the INDIA bloc and said, “Those responsible for dividing the country will work to divide you in the future. We need to make the country self-reliant and develop it under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi. “
