Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], May 5 : Taking a dig at the Congress-led INDIA bloc on Sunday, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that the INDI alliance has been surrounded by controversies right since its formation itself.
Speaking to the media at his residence before addressing public meetings in Hardoi and Etawah, he remarked, "This is the reason why controversial statements of its leaders are continuously coming to the fore. This is nothing new for them. This is their character."
He added, "INDIA bloc is an alliance of selfishness. This is the reason why they are constantly making controversial statements. The statements are being made by their leaders to please the enemies of India and create discord and disharmony in Indian society for petty political ends."
CM Yogi further mentioned that through their statements, the people of the INDI alliance are causing irreparable damage to national security and integrity. "This is the character of family-based political parties. The statements of Congress, National Conference and Samajwadi Party leaders encourage anti-nationals, promote terrorism, and threaten national security while insulting the martyrdom of the brave soldiers of India. It's not just during elections that they engage in such behaviour. They consistently make such statements", he stated.
"This act of INDI alliance is extremely condemnable. They have no control over any of their leaders. That's why they are using disrespectful language," Yogi added.
The Chief Minister also highlighted the progress in Jammu and Kashmir towards a more robust democratic environment and a renewed focus on development. "The dominance of dynastic rule, which previously held sway, has waned, and the selection of representatives now reflects the true will of the people. This transformation is evident in the outcomes of the recent Panchayat elections", he pointed out.
"For these reasons, the opposition is feeling desperate and resorting to such statements. These statements bring joy to Pakistan, which expresses its support for all the leaders of the INDI alliance, including Rahul Gandhi", he added.
