Sonamukhi (WB), Apr 12 (PTI) Accusing the TMC of pursuing appeasement policies in West Bengal, UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday urged people to vote for a “double-engine” government here to usher in a truly inclusive regime.
Addressing a rally at Sonamukhi in Bankura district, Adityanath said Bengal is known as the land of Swami Vivekananda and Ramakrishna, who enriched the country’s spiritual quest.
“But the TMC government disrespects spiritual icons revered worldwide, posing a threat to the Hindu identity of the state,” he alleged.
“Bengal has now become the place of ‘goonda gardi’, which was common in UP before the BJP came to power there. There was a lack of development and growth in UP. But see the changes now,” he added.
Adityanath said there is no appeasement in UP, but “inclusive Hinduism”, where every community can live peacefully in a secure environment.
“All mafias have been dealt in the way they deserve with zero tolerance,” he said.
Adityanath claimed that under the guidance of PM Narendra Modi, the BJP will form a government in Bengal, and atrocities, rapes and murders will be things of the past.
“Many BJP workers were killed, and their hands were amputated by TMC goons. These goons will be dealt with accordingly,” he claimed.
Criticising Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, he claimed she was “silent on the killings of minority Hindus in neighbouring Bangladesh, while BJP leaders issued statements condemning such attacks”.
“She did not open her mouth as she is afraid of losing her vote bank in Bengal,” he alleged.
Adityanath claimed that during the TMC regime, demographic changes had taken place in West Bengal because of infiltration.
“The BJP will protect the state’s identity and safeguard its inclusive character,” he claimed. PTI SUS SOM
