Yogi Adityanath Attacks Samajwadi Party, Calls it a "Production House of Criminals"
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath launched a scathing attack on the Samajwadi Party (SP) during an election rally in Mirzapur. He accused the party of becoming a "production house of criminals and mafia" responsible for spreading anarchy and violence against weaker sections of society.
"The SP has become the CEO of these criminals and Shivpal Yadav (SP leader) is their trainer," Adityanath said. "These mafia and criminals are there to usurp people's wealth. They intend to harm the weaker sections and violate the dignity of women."
The Chief Minister contrasted the SP's rule with the BJP's, stating that when the SP is in power, criminals have free rein in the state. He credited the BJP with improving the situation after coming to power.
Adityanath also criticized the SP's current leadership for sullying the socialist movement from which the party was formed. He contrasted the party's current state with its earlier ideals, led by figures like Jaya Prakash Narayana and Rammanohar Lohiya.
"The socialist movement was a movement with ideals," Adityanath said. "They talked about value-based politics. They protested against Congress's corrupt and chaotic governance. They fought for the country and democracy. But today Samajwadi Party has become an alliance of professional criminals and mafia who spread anarchy. This is not a secret anymore."
The Chief Minister further alleged that the INDIA alliance led by the SP and the Congress has no interest in the development of the country or state. He accused them of prioritizing their own families and making false promises to deceive voters.
"They (the INDIA alliance) have no agenda for development," Adityanath said. "They only want development for their family. They have nothing to do with the development of the nation."
In contrast, Adityanath highlighted the BJP-led NAD's dedication to the country's development. He urged voters to reject the false promises of the SP and Congress and choose the BJP for a better future.
