“CM Yogi seeks votes for Smriti Irani from Amethi’.

Lok Sabha 24 : Sitapur, Bahraich, Amethi – Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, on Sunday, addressed public meetings in Sitapur, Bahraich and Amethi on Sunday seeking public support for BJP candidates contesting from Mohanlalganj, Kaiserganj and Amethi Lok Sabha constituencies, namely Kaushal Kishore, Karan Bhushan Singh and Smriti Irani, respectively. The seats will go to polls on May 20, in the fifth phase of Lok Sabha election.

Before leaving for the election campaign in the mentioned districts, the Chief Minister visited Kaal Bhairav and Baba Vishwanath temples in Kashi on Sunday morning to offer prayers. During the public meetings, he listed out the achievements of the BJP government on the development front, while highlighting the disrupted pace of development during the Congress-SP era.

Addressing a gathering in Sitapur, CM Yogi said, “The DNAs of Congress-SP, I.N.D.I alliance and Pakistan seem to be similar.  The poor used to die of hunger during the time of SP-Congress. People are dying of hunger in Pakistan whereas 80 crore people are getting free ration in India today.”

He further mentioned that Congress had opportunity for 60-65 years, but it did not focus on development of the country. “SP-Congress and Pakistan oppose India, Lord Ram, backward classes, scheduled castes and tribes, daughters, and businessmen. Lalu Prasad Yadav of the I.N.D.I alliance has advocated for giving reservation meant for OBC to Muslims. Make sure that all those who dare to play with the future of the country, lose their deposits in the elections”, he remarked. 

Speaking at a rally in Bahraich to seek votes for Lok Sabha candidate Karan Bhushan Singh, he said, “‘Ramdrohis’ who objected to the construction of Ram temple have always been questioning the existence of Ram. They question not only, the existence of Lord Ram, but all those who idolize him. Now is the time to convey to them that the one who has faith in Lord Ram will govern India.”

CM Yogi added that the SP previously claimed that not even a bird could fly in Ayodhya. Today, they should witness the large number of Lord Ram’s devotees visiting Ayodhya.

“Bahraich is the place where the culprit of the Somnath Temple, Salar Masud, was brought to justice. The bravery of Maharaja Suheldev, in safeguarding the nation’s faith, remains unforgettable.  People from SP, Congress, and BSP will visit Dargah, but they won’t come here to pay homage because they fear losing Muslim votes”, he added.

In Madhogarh, the Chief Minister urged people to make Union Minister Smriti Irani victorious from the Amethi Lok Sabha seat once again. He said that Congress is talking about imposing inheritance tax in its manifesto, which is reminiscent of the Jizya tax imposed by Mughal ruler Aurangzeb. “It seems that the spirit of Aurangzeb has possessed the Congress Party. 

The Chief Minister further said that with the fourth phase of voting, the ‘Modi wave’ will take the form of a tsunami. He highlighted that only two kinds of people are opposing PM Narendra Modi, one is Pakistan and the other is ‘Ramdrohis’. He said that even four generations of Congress did not visit Amethi as many times as Smriti Irani did. 

Today, the entire Amethi stands in honour of Smriti Irani. For the first time, the people of Amethi have decided not to be followers of any party but to become supporters of India’s development, Yogi added. Attacking the Congress, he said that those who love Pakistan can go there. Congress talks about caste-based census and wants to pit communities against each other, he asserted.
