West Medinipur, April 2026 : Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is witnessing tremendous public enthusiasm during the West Bengal elections. On one hand, he is campaigning intensely for BJP candidates under the scorching sun, and on the other, thousands are gathering just to see and hear him.

A similar scene was witnessed on Monday during the rally in support of BJP candidate Pradeep Lodha in the Garbeta Assembly constituency, where people stood on walls, vehicles, and rooftops to listen to his speech. The air echoed with chants of “Yogi-Yogi” as he was welcomed on Bengal’s soil.

Yogi Adityanath appealed to youth, farmers and women to free Bengal from the disorder created by Congress, communists, and the Trinamool Congress, which, he said, has pushed the state into decline.

Chief Minister Yogi described Bengal as the land of national heroes and said that when appeasement peaks and TMC’s hooliganism reaches its height, one is reminded of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose.

He said, “Bengal’s youth are facing an identity crisis. Once a leader, Bengal has now been reduced to a laggard. A foundation of India’s economic progress, Bengal has become impoverished due to the exploitative rule of TMC, Congress, and communists.” He added that Bengal is now moving towards a double-engine government after freeing itself from TMC’s disorder.

CM Yogi alleged that Mamata Didi is troubled by chants of “Jai Shri Ram.” He said that while she organizes iftar parties on roads, she has imposed restrictions on Ram-related events, Durga Puja, idol immersion, and religious processions. He compared this with Uttar Pradesh before 2017, where there was disorder, hooliganism, roadside prayers, and iftar gatherings.

However, he said that for the past nine years, Uttar Pradesh has been governed by a double-engine government, resulting in “no curfew, no riots,” and overall stability. He added that no one can encroach upon others’ rights in UP.

The state now has such smooth roads that even a cup held in hand won’t spill water while traveling. Uttar Pradesh has become a state of highways and expressways, has the highest number of airports, and is generating the most employment. Places that once saw unrest now celebrate festivals.

CM Yogi said that in Uttar Pradesh, there are no longer roadside iftar gatherings or prayers. Even the sound of loudspeakers from mosques is not heard prominently, and the state is progressing peacefully.

He added that while Mamata Didi is irritated by the name of Ram in Bengal, a grand Ram Temple reaching the sky has been constructed in Ayodhya. The temple, he said, inspires dignity and pride among Indians and proves that faith does not bend, stop, or break – it only needs the will to face challenges.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said, “In Uttar Pradesh, activities like cow slaughter, love jihad, and land jihad are not tolerated. If mafias or criminals dare to act, bulldozers crush their power.” He alleged that TMC stands for terror, mafia rule, and corruption, and said only a BJP government can eliminate it.

He concluded by saying that neither cow slaughter will be allowed nor division among Hindus, and that Bengal too must move forward under a double-engine government for development.
