ALWAR (Rajasthan), Nov 1:
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday compared the ideology of Congress to that of the Taliban and said that the party is the root of every problem in the country.
During a public meeting held in support of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate Yogi Balaknath from Tijara assembly constituency here, Yogi said that the remedy for such Taliban like ideologies lies in the mace (gada) of Lord Hanuman. He pointed to Israel’s targeted actions in Gaza as a clear example, where terrorists are being eliminated selectively.
He lamented that this Taliban-like mindset has blemished the longstanding traditions of Rajasthan, a region celebrated for its devotion and power.
The CM asserted that had Congress been in power, the Ram Mandir issue would never have been resolved. “However, under the leadership of the Prime Minister, a magnificent temple of Ramlala is now being constructed in Ayodhya, signifying a period of development in the region,” he said.
He said, “On one hand, Sardar Patel worked relentlessly to unite the country, while on the other, Congress created the problem of Article 370 in Kashmir. PM Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah decisively resolved this issue, permanently eliminating the problem and significantly curbing terrorism. This feat, which Congress failed to achieve in 70 years, was accomplished by PM Modi within nine and a half years.”
Yogi highlighted the achievements of the Central Government and the good governance and development initiatives in UP. He said that after the formation of the BJP Government in Rajasthan, the realisation of the concept of Rama Rajya will be complete.
He said, “Every Indian feels proud of the rich traditions and heritage of Rajasthan. We have close ties with Alwar. The land of Yogiraj Raja Bhartrihari Nath is a symbol of our heritage.”
The CM criticised Congress for tarnishing the state’s glorious traditions and accused CM Ashok Gehlot of excessive appeasement. He asserted that while Congress symbolises problems in the country, the leadership of PM Modi offers solutions to every issue.
Accusing the Gehlot Government of being anti-Hindu, he said, “Professional criminals and goons are given patronage here. Also, the work of insulting the saints is done under the patronage of the Government. The public will have to decide how long this game of appeasement will continue.”
While citing UP as an example, Yogi emphasised that despite its massive population of 25 crores, no criminal dares to disrespect a daughter’s honor or trouble a businessman in the state.
He highlighted the safety and respect accorded to daughters, revered saints, and even cows in the state, underscoring the comprehensive protection and security measures in place in UP. He said that in states where there is a BJP Government, work is being done with the power of a double engine. “Baba Balaknath is also a yogi. He has resolved to make Tijara a sitara (shining star). You have seen him as an MP. Now it is the responsibility of Tijara to ensure that there is no casteism or discrimination,” he said.
Warning against Congress, the CM said that if the party came to power, individuals with Taliban mindsets would once again target the dignity of daughters. He called for collective effort to transform Rajasthan into a state that embodies the ideals of Rama Rajya, ensuring the safety of cows and the well-being of daughters and mothers.
