“SP’s account will not open in UP, all 5 members of ‘the family’ will lose in LS polls” – CM Yogi.

Lok Sabha 24 : Lakhimpur Kheri, Sitapur : Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath launched an energetic campaign on Thursday for the Kheri, Dhaurahara, and Sitapur Lok Sabha seats. He said that while the public and devotees of Lord Ram are asserting themselves to support those who brought Lord Ram, ‘Ramdrohis’ argue against the necessity of the Ram temple’s construction, questioning its relevance within India. In a biting remark, he raised the question of whether the temple would be erected in Kabul, Kandahar, Lahore, or Karachi if not in Ayodhya.

He directly accused the Samajwadi Party of providing shelter to mafias and criminals, referring to them as ‘shagird’ (disciples) of the SP. Alleging the SP’s involvement in violent incidents, he claimed they targeted Ram devotees and shielded those responsible for terrorist attacks.

CM Yogi highlighted the emergence of a new India under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership. He emphasized that those who attempt security breaches now face swift consequences—’Aaj suraksha meim sendh lagane walon ko yah pata hai ki aisa karne se pehle Yamraj jeevan ki dor kaat ke le jaenge’. Furthermore, he urged voters to support BJP candidates: Ajay Mishra Teni for the Kheri Lok Sabha seat, Rekha Verma for the Dhaurahara Lok Sabha seat, and Rajesh Verma for the Sitapur Lok Sabha seat.

*Congress and SP are conspiring to divide the country*

Addressing the election rally for Kheri Lok Sabha seat at Gola in Lakhimpur Kheri, the Chief Minister said that the Samajwadi Party would not even be able to open its account in the Uttar Pradesh Lok Sabha elections 2024 and all the five members of the party’s leader were set to lose. The Chief Minister highlighted the completion of three phases of election, stating “There is only one voice resounding throughout the country ‘Phir Ek Baar, Modi Sarkar’.” 

Taking a dig at opposition, the Chief Minister remarked: “The Congress and SP are now claiming that the construction of the Ram temple was unnecessary. As the elections unfold, it’s evident that it’s a battle between ‘Ram devotees’, committed to India’s progress and the well-being of the underprivileged, and ‘Ramdrohis’ who jeopardize India’s security, disparage the nation on global stages, and toy with the principles of Sanatan faith.” He further mentioned that Congress and SP are conspiring to divide the country. “In the Congress era, the nation faced insecure borders and witnessed peak of terrorism and Naxalism. Similarly, the SP regime used to open fire at devotees of Shri Ram and withdrew cases against terrorists.” 

*The sentiment resonating across the nation is ‘Phir ek bar Modi Sarkar’*

Addressing the election rally for Dhaurahra Lok Sabha seat at Mohammadi in Lakhimpur Kheri, the Chief Minister said that as the Lok Sabha elections of 2024 reach a critical juncture with half of the constituencies having completed voting in three phases, the sentiment resonating across the nation is ‘Phir ek bar Modi Sarkar.’ The populace is echoing the sentiment, ‘Jo Ram ko laye hain, hum unko layenge.’

Yogi remarked, “For the first time in the country, we are witnessing a government completing a 10-year tenure, yet the public is resolutely electing BJP candidates to form the Modi government for the third time, brimming with enthusiasm and determination.” He continued, “The people of India are expressing their gratitude because the Modi government has tirelessly worked towards the development, welfare, and dignity of the nation. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has dedicated himself to illuminating the future of both the current and forthcoming generations by sculpting a new India.”

*Ayodhya is our holy place*

Addressing a public gathering in Biswan, Sitapur, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath emphasized that the entire election revolves around ‘Rambhakts’ and ‘Ramdrohis.’ He added, “The public and Ram devotees are saying that we will bring those who have brought Ram, whereas Ramdrohi are saying that the temple is ‘useless.’ There was no need to construct it. What was the need for a temple inside India.” In a taunting remark, the CM questioned whether, if not in Ayodhya, the birthplace of Lord Ram in Uttar Pradesh, the temple would be constructed in Kabul-Kandahar, Lahore, or Karachi. 

He reiterated Ayodhya’s sacred status as the birthplace of Shri Ram and a revered pilgrimage site for millions of followers of Sanatan Dharma. He affirmed, “Ayodhya holds deep religious significance for us. Today’s Ayodhya invokes the spirit of the Ramayana period from Tretayuga, while Kashi embodies the essence of Satyug.”

The Chief Minister highlighted the government’s ambitious development plan for Naimisharanya, including the initiation of four-lane connectivity projects, the construction of guesthouses, and the enhancement of the Gomti riverfront. Additionally, efforts are underway to renovate and beautify temples, support local businessmen, and introduce new hotels and restaurants. The introduction of an electric bus service to Lucknow and plans for helicopter connectivity are also in progress. Furthermore, there are plans to extend the metro network from Lucknow to Naimisharanya.

In addition, CM Yogi praised the region’s robust security environment and cited the example of Radico Khaitan’s investment of Rs 1000 crore, which has created job opportunities for hundreds of local youth. He also acknowledged the contribution of an ED officer who left his job to facilitate the establishment of a promising campus for the region’s youth, ensuring a bright future for them.
