Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath claimed that Akhilesh Yadav and other opposition leaders have booked their tickets for abroad after the result is declared.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath told India Today that he is confident of the BJP’s win in the state assembly polls, adding that Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav and other opposition leaders have booked their tickets for abroad after the result is declared.
Speaking on his campaign trail from Ayodhya to Sultanpur via Chitrakoot, CM Yogi Adityanath said, “BJP is leading from the first phase itself. This fight is 80 vs 20. BJP will win 80 per cent of the seats, the remaining 20 will be distributed among the remaining people. On March 11, there are many opposition leaders, including Akhilesh, who have got tickets booked for abroad. Akhilesh is worried about what will happen to him on March 10. I keep going to Gorakhpur. I am contesting from there.”
CM Yogi also took stock of the construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya by helicopter. “The issue of Ram temple has been very important for me. My revered Gurudev ji has been associated with the Ram Mandir movement. Who would be as proud as me, who got a chance to see that the struggle of 500 years of Ram temple is being completed,” he said.”Ram temple is an issue of faith for us. We did what we said. Who used to shoot at Ram devotees. People have to recognise their faces,” CM Yogi added.
Yogi Adityanath claimed that the history of the Samajwadi Party is related to “terrorism”. “His [Akhilesh Yadav] government had done the work of withdrawing the cases registered against the terrorists. Those involved in the Ahmedabad riots should break their silence on the relationship with the Samajwadis,” CM Yogi said.
At CM Yogi’s rally in Sultanpur, many bulldozers were erected at the venue. On this, CM Yogi said, “Our action against crime and criminals will continue. Crime is a hindrance to the development of the state.”
Taking a dig at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, CM Yogi said, “If the brother and sister come to Uttar Pradesh, they will go to the temple and if they go out of UP, they will curse the people here. If they go out of the country, they will curse the countrymen. In 2019, the Opposition formed an alliance. There is no place for Congress in UP. The people of the state are with the double engine government.”
On the issue of UP citizens trapped in Ukraine, CM Yogi said, “Additional Secretary Revenue has been made the nodal officer regarding this. PM Modi himself has taken initiative in this matter. Our relief department is engaged in this work. Toll free numbers are also being issued.”
