Launching a fierce attack on the RJD-Congress alliance during an election rally in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath accused both parties of pushing the state into poverty, lawlessness, and communal divisions during their rule.
CM Yogi said that under the RJD-Congress governments, the poor were deprived of even the most basic amenities. “When RJD ruled Bihar with Congress’ support, the poor were denied rations and government schemes. Before 2005, under Congress or RJD, if a poor person fell ill, he would die suffering—there were no medical facilities,” he said.
The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister also targeted the Congress over its handling of Kashmir, alleging that its policies were responsible for turning the region into a dispute. “It was Congress that made Kashmir disputed. Today, under PM Modi and Amit Shah, Kashmir has been freed from terrorism,” he said.
Sharing an example, Yogi mentioned reading about an actor who could visit Kashmir only after 27 years. “It was Congress’ sin that Hindus had to leave Kashmir. Now, people from Mithila and Bihar can also live there peacefully,” he added.
Continuing his scathing remarks, Yogi Adityanath accused the Opposition of being “anti-Ram” and disrespecting Hindu sentiments. “Congress once questioned the existence of Lord Ram and Mata Janaki. They played with people’s faith and even filed an affidavit in the Supreme Court denying their existence,” he said.
He further alleged that the RJD and Samajwadi Party had both acted against the Ram movement. “RJD tried to stop the Ram Rath Yatra, and the Samajwadi Party ordered firing on Ram devotees in Ayodhya, turning the holy city red with blood,” he charged.
Yogi went on to claim that the INDIA bloc was trying to “breach Bihar’s security” by supporting “family mafias and infiltrators.” He recalled the violent past of Bihar under RJD rule, saying, “During RJD rule, over 70 massacres took place in Bihar. They pitted caste against caste, made daughters and traders feel unsafe, and destroyed law and order with guns and pistols. These parties divide people on caste lines and weaken national security.”
