UP elections: Those who ordered firing on Ram bhakts will do kar seva after polls, says CM Yogi Adityanath

LUCKNOW: In a stinging attack on Samajwadi Party, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday said those who opened fire on 'Ram bhakts' will offer 'kar seva' in Ayodhya after 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
"Those who ordered firing on 'Ram bhakts' are now roaming with Bajrang Bali's mace. When we return to power at the Centre after 2024 Lok Sabha polls, most of these pariwarwadis will be seen offering 'kar seva' with Ram's devotees in Ayodhya.This is a symbol of the BJP's ideological victory," Yogi said, addressing a public meeting in Ambedkarnagar.
"During previous governments, people who roamed with pistols are now carrying Lord Hanuman's gada to put up a deceptive appearance," he said.
Taking a dig at BSP, Yogi said, "Ye haathi to waise bhi idhar-udhar fisal raha hai (The elephant is losing its balance)."
He said the previous governments usurped the ration meant for the poor. "Our bulldozers are ready for those who denied ration to the poor," Yogi said.
Invoking socialist ideologue Ram Manohar Lohia, Yogi said: "In 1960, Lohia started the Ramayana Mela. Lohia said a true socialist must stay away from property and progeny. But the slogan of these so-called socialists is 'Sabka saath, Saifai pariwar ka vikas' unlike 'Sabka saath, sabka vikas' of BJP."
Invoking the legacy of Raja Suheldev, who had defeated invader Ghazi Saiyyad Salar Masood in a battle, he said: "People doing politics in the name of Raja Suheldev are working against his ideology. I believe the followers of Suheldev cannot stand with Ghori and Ghaznavi. We do not believe in politics of caste, creed, and religion."
"After four phases of polling, I can say that there is a wave for BJP and we will get absolute majority with over 300 seats," he said, appealing to support BJP for 'danga mukt', 'bhay mukt'and 'arajakata mukt' Uttar Pradesh.
Addressing a rally at Bairia in Ballia, Yogi said his government's achievements in five years were much more than of SP, BSP in 15 years.
"SP provided only 18,000 houses for the poor during its term in UP whereas we have given 58,000 houses in Ballia alone," he said.
