Gonda (UP), Nov 2 (PTI) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday termed the Samajwadi Party a “shraap (curse)” for Uttar Pradesh, alleging that whenever the party has come to power, it has only brought chaos.
Adityanath was speaking at a programme here, after launching 69 development projects worth over Rs 520 crore.
Lashing out at the Samajwadi Party, Adityanath said, “The biggest food-grain scam took place in Gonda during the Samajwadi Party government’s tenure. This party is a ‘shraap’ for Uttar Pradesh, and whenever it has come (to power), it has only ushered in chaos.”
“Today, development works are progressing swiftly in all 75 districts, 350 tehsils, 825 development blocks and 762 urban local bodies, and big schemes are being undertaken,” he said, adding that, earlier, development was restricted to a handful of locations such as Saifai — the native village of Samajwadi Party founder and former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Mulayam Singh Yadav.
“Now, there is no discrimination in development. Electricity will not be supplied to only Rampur or Saifai, but also to Gonda, Bahraich and Balrampur.”
The chief minister further said that free ration is being provided to the poor.
Drawing a comparison between the BJP and opposition parties, Adityanath said, “BJP means ‘asthaa’ (faith); we respect your faith, and assure transformation in your lives. The Samajwadi Party and Congress stand for crime and misrule.” PTI NAV ARB
