Adityanath compares UP civic polls to `Deva-Asura War’

[ad_1]
Sitapur: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday termed the upcoming urban body elections as the “Deva-Asura Sangram”, a battle between the gods and their enemies, and said it is necessary to teach the corrupt and the mafia a lesson.
Addressing an election meeting ahead of the state-wide civic polls on May 4 and 11, the chief minister assured the development of the sacred Naimisharanya site in Sitapur.
“Naimisharanya will undergo a facelift on the lines of Kashi, Ayodhya and Mathura. After Naimisharanya’s rejuvenation, religious tourism will create employment opportunities in every sector,” he said in Sitapur.

Adityanath also addressed meetings in Lakhimpur Kheri and Balrampur as part of the campaign.
He compared the civic polls to the war between the gods and the demons.
“In this land of Naimisharanya, Maharishi Dadhichi once donated his bones to make weapons for the victory of the divine forces,” he said, adding the elections provided an opportunity to teach a lesson to the corrupt and the criminals who flourished under the previous regimes in the state.
The BJP has been attacking the opposition Samajwadi Party for allegedly giving patronage to criminals when it was in power.
At another meeting, the CM said before 2017, when the BJP came to power in Uttar Pradesh, there was hooliganism in the state and a “goonda tax” collected from traders.

But now nobody has the courage to demand it, he said.
“Basic facilities will start to reach every home as soon as the ‘third engine’ joins the ‘double-engine government,” he said, referring to the BJP governments already in UP and at the Centre.
“The benefits of the government’s schemes will be made available to everyone without discrimination,” Adityanath added.
In Lakhimpur Kheri, he said along with facilities like four-lane roads, technical education, the area will soon have a medical college and its airstrip developed into an airport.
Lakhimpur will serve as a hub of ecotourism, which will open new avenues for the region’s development, he said.
He claimed only the BJP reached out to people during the Covid pandemic.
“We also provided a free ration facility. Whether it is welfare schemes for the poor or the infrastructure, we have taken care of everything,” he said.
Votes polled in the two-phase election will be counted on May 13. PTI

SSC paper leak: Telangana BJP chief compares self to PM Modi in open letter

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Stating that his arrest in the Class 10 examination paper leakage was part of the ‘larger conspiracy’ by the Bharat Rashtra Samithi government led by chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, Telangana Bharatiya Janata Party president Bandi Sanjay on Thursday said such conspiracies would not demoralise the party and the cadre.
“Arresting me and harassing the BJP workers were like hitting the ball to the ground. We shall only bounce back with the same force,” Sanjay said in an open letter to the party leaders and cadre on the occasion of the BJP foundation day celebrations.
The letter was released through Sanjay’s brother Bandi Sravan Kumar, who called on him in Karimnagar jail in the morning, the saffron party said.

The BJP president said the BRS government had ‘foisted false cases’ against him only because he had taken up cudgels on behalf of 30 lakh unemployed youth who had suffered due to leakage of question papers of recruitment tests conducted by the Telangana State Public Service Commission, exposing the ‘failure of KCR’s son K T Rama Rao’, who holds the ‘responsibility’ for the same in the capacity of state IT minister.
“I am not new to facing cases, arrests, and imprisonments. I am ready to go to jail any number of times for the sake of people. My entire worry is about the future of 30 lakh unemployed youth, with whose lives the KCR government is playing. While his family members, party leaders, and cronies are getting plum positions, the unemployed youth who had fought for the formation of Telangana is being denied their legitimate right to get jobs,” he said.
Sanjay reminded that the BRS government had ‘taken the lives of 27 Intermediate students’ due to malpractices in spot valuation in the past and now, it was playing with the lives of Class 10 students.
“It was the BJP which had raised its voice in Parliament against sacrifices of youth during the movement for separate state. Now, it is the same BJP which is fighting for the cause of the unemployed and the students,” he remarked.
Stating that there is no question of succumbing to the conspiracies of KCR and giving up the fight, Sanjay recalled how Prime Minister Narendra Modi had withstood ‘similar conspiracies’ hatched by the previous rulers against him post-Godhra violence in Gujarat in the form of court cases and ‘malicious campaign’ in the media.

“Yet, Modi did not backtrack and bounced back to power to become the Prime Minister of the country with the support of party workers,” he said.
The BJP president regretted that he was not able to be present at the Prime Minister’s meeting at Hyderabad on April 8 and appealed to the party leaders to mobilise huge crowds including the unemployed youth to the rally and make it a success.
Sanjay said the time had come to uproot the corrupt KCR government which was caught ‘neck-deep in various scams’ such as illicit liquor trade, drug peddling, question paper leakages, gambling, and land encroachments.
“Since the BJP is exposing all these scams involving KCR’s son and daughter, the government is targeting me and throwing me behind the bars in false cases, so as to damage the image of the BJP,” he said.
“Wednesday’s arrest ‘drama’ was only to divert the attention of the people from the allegation made by senior journalist Rajdeep Sardesai who disclosed that KCR had offered to bear the entire election expenditure of all the opposition parties in the country if he was made the chairman of opposition front,” he added.
