Article 370 was a blot on Kashmir: Yogi Adityanath
Lucknow, Oct 15 (UNI) Hitting out at Congress, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that the grand old party of India is not finding workers to oppose abrogation of Article 370, which is a blot on Kashmir, and no person having self-respect will support Congress.
In an election rally in Pratapgarh where senior Congress leader and three-time MP Rajkumari Ratna Singh joined the party, the CM said that in the present scenario no one will support Congress for its stand on opposing abrogation of article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir.
The Chief Minister addressed rallies in Pratapgarh, Chitrakoot, Kanpur and Lucknow on Tuesday in support of the BJP candidates for the assembly by-election.
During the rallies, the CM appealed the people to vote for the BJP.
He said that SP, BSP, and other parties have done politics on caste, vote religious lines and promoted nepotism and casteism.
The state bore the brunt of this style of politics. "It is wrong to expect development from them because development and good governance is not on the agenda of these parties," he said.
The CM said that the farmers of Pratapgarh with their diligence and effort have provided a global stage to the cultivation of Amla here.
"Our government has included Amla in the 'One District One Product' and is providing a new market to the farmers here. The work of the medical college has started in Pratapgarh. In the next session, the process of admission along with the OPD will also begin here," he said.
While addressing a rally in Chitrakoot, the CM said that this is the holy land where Maryada Purushottam Shri Ram spent around 12 years in exile.
"For the last 15 years, SP, BSP and Congress, in connivance with some contractors, have looted the funds which were allotted for the development of the region. Our Government has stopped that loot. Not only that after the formation of the BJP government in the state, the region has become free of dacoits," the CM said.
He said that the fighter planes to be manufactured at the factories here in the defence corridor. The planes from Chitrakoot will give a befitting reply to the enemies.
"The tanks made in Chitrakoot will protect the country’s borders and they will have Chitrakoot written on them," said the Chief Minister.
Enumerating the various welfare schemes, the Chief Minister said that the state government has sanctioned Rs 9,000 crore for providing pure drinking water to all the households.
"After the construction of the Bundelkhand expressway, the distance between Delhi and Chitrakoot will be covered in 5 hours. Besides, our government is constructing cow shelters for the protection of stray cattle. If any farmer is keeping stray cattle at his home and taking care of it, the state government is helping such farmers by giving them Rs 900 for each animal," the CM added.
The Chief Minister targeted the Congress, SP and BSP while addressing the rally in Kanpur. He said that Pakistan and Congress are pained most after the abrogation of Article 370.
"Over 41,000 citizens of Kashmir have died due to Pakistan-sponsored terrorism, but the SP, BSP Congress never did anything on the issue. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Bharatiya Janata Party abrogated Article 370 and paved the way for development in Kashmir," said the CM.
