New Delhi:UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has taken a dig at Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi by saying he is blessing in disguise for BJP.
Addressing party’s ‘ParivartanRathYatra’ to mark end of the BJP’s massive outreach campaign in Himachal Pradesh, Yogi said TajMahal, a famous heritage landmark of India was visited by lakhs of tourists, including foreigners but this can’t be symbol of the faith. “Our symbols of faith are Bhagavad Gita and Ramayana and we really value them,” he added as he attacked the Congress for its anti-Hindu mindset, and playing a politics of appeasement in the country for several years.
Equally hitting hard at the Congress, UP Chief Minister said the Congress had left the country divided on caste, regions and religious basis. The Congress, he said, had also tried to play with the faith for its vote politics and the people have started realising it now.
Firing a salvo at AICC vice-president Rahul Gandhi, Yogi said, “He is really a blessing in disguise for the BJP and the party wants him to lead the Congress as no one was now acknowledging or listening to Sonia Gandhi.”
He predicted winds of the change in the country, which had brought the BJP to power in Uttar Pradesh with such a massive mandate and thereafter also Uttarakhand and other states. It is due to Prime Minister NarendraModi’s development agenda, who was hailed as world leader wherever he goes outside the country, the UP CM said.
Yogi also attacked the Congress government in Himachal Pradesh for mafia raj and lack of development. In fact, he said the word mafia has also come from Italy and one can understand why the Congress was patronizing mafia including mining mafia in the state.
Promising development of Himachal Pradesh, Yogi said once the BJP returns to power in the state after the poll, the people of the world will forget Switzerland as Himachal Pradesh has huge potential to attract tourism. “Look how Prime Minister NarendraModi donned Himachali cap in Israel and presented Himachali gifts to US president Donald Trump.”
