Mainpuri, 28 November: “Late Netaji had said ‘Jeetegi to BJP he” (only BJP will win) and we won Lok Sabha seats of Azamgarh and Rampur with his blessings. Again, you have an opportunity to realise Netaji?s dream by ensuring BJP’s victory in the Mainpuri LS bypolls and script history”, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said here on Monday.
Addressing a huge election rally for the Mainpuri LS bypolls at Karhal, the assembly seat of SP Chief Akhilesh Yadav, CM Yogi said: “They (SP) will try to play an emotional card, but don’t get misled by them. Socialism and secularism are empty slogans for Samajwadi Party, which treats politics as a family business.”
“They have nothing to do with development or welfare and prosperity of people. They can?t stand with you during a crisis. They were nowhere to be seen during the corona virus. All they are interested in is their own as well as their families? interests”, he remarked.
“That’s why they never built houses and toilets for the poor and instead built palaces for themselves. They never bothered to provide jobs to the youth, security to the people and support to the farmers. Chacha-Bhatija used to run an extortion racket through advertisement of vacancies”, Yogi said.
Taking a jibe at Shivapal Yadav, the CM said: “He has become something like a pendulum, or a football that gets kicked by both teams. We saw how last time he was insulted on stage through denial of a chair and had to sit on the arm of a chair.”
Urging people to become part of the larger BJP family, CM Yogi said that the BJP Government alone has the intention, dedication and commitment to improve people’s lives through development projects and welfare schemes.
?We are building houses and toilets for people. We are providing ration to 15 crore people. During the pandemic, we provided free test, treatment and vaccines to the people. We are providing an annual pension of ?12,000 to the old, widows, destitute women and differently-abled?, he remarked.
CM Yogi continued: ?But we are dealing strictly with the mafia. We have seized properties woirth hundreds of crores of the mafia and getting houses built on them for the poor. We are providing security to people.”
He added, ?When the NDA Government headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi took over in 2014, the PM gave the slogan of ?Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas?, which means development and welfare of all, but discrimination against none and appeasement to none and the party has strictly followed this dictum in discharging its duties.
Seeking votes for Raghuraj Singh Shakya, a former SP MP and a close aide of Mulayam Singh Yadav and Shivpal Yadav, who is pitted against Akhilesh Yadav?s wife Dimple Yadav, Yogi said that development of Mainpuri can gain momentum if the local leadership is also from the BJP.
According to the Chief Minister, the lost glory of Mainpuri as in the case of Agra, Firozabad and Etawah during previous governments, must be restored and it can be done only through the BJP.
