'It is read over the graves of mafias': CM Yogi's attack on SP in UP Assembly
During a discussion on the Governor's address in the UP Assembly, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath launched a sharp attack on the Samajwadi Party and Congress.
In the Uttar Pradesh Assembly, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath responded strongly to the opposition parties, particularly targeting the Samajwadi Party (SP) and Congress during a debate on the Governor's address. He accused these parties of obstructing developmental projects, particularly those concerning the Manikarnika Ghat and crematoriums, asserting that despite their resistance, the government is committed to advancing these initiatives which are crucial for the community.
Yogi Adityanath emphasized the significance of these projects not just for religious sentiments but also for the broader public welfare. He suggested that the opposition's objections stem from a disregard for progress and a connection to the 'mafias' that had previously thrived in the state. This rhetoric is indicative of the BJP's strategy to frame itself as a party of development while positioning its rivals as antagonists to growth and modernization.
The exchanges in the Assembly reflect ongoing political tensions in Uttar Pradesh, where the BJP and SP have been locked in a fierce competition for influence. As the state gears up for future electoral battles, such confrontations in the Assembly may serve as both a distraction and a focal point for their respective bases, with Adityanath’s comments likely aimed at consolidating support among constituents who prioritize infrastructure and development issues.
