Polling in the Mainpuri constituency is set to take place on May 7 during third phase of Lok Sabha elections.&nbsp;

CM Yogi Adityanath holds a massive roadshow in SP’s ‘bastion’, Mainpuri

Polling in the Mainpuri constituency is set to take place on May 7 during third phase of Lok Sabha elections.&nbsp;

CM Yogi Adityanath on Thursday held a roadshow in Mainpuri Lok Sabha Constituency in Uttar Pradesh in the run-up to the Lok Sabha elections third phase.&nbsp;
The Uttar Pradesh chief minister held the roadshow in support of BJP candidate Jaiveer Singh in Mainpuri, SP bastion, where he was showered with flowers from people standing atop bulldozers amid echoes of 'Bharat Mata ki Jai'.
Polling in the Mainpuri constituency is set to take place on May 7 during third phase of Lok Sabha elections.&nbsp;
During the roadshow, the CM tore into Samajwadi party and Congress accusing both the parties of trying to drag India back to &ldquo;slavery&rdquo; by &ldquo;diverting&rdquo; reservation for SCs, STs and OBCs to the minorities.
&nbsp;
 He attacked opposition INDIA bloc and Samajwadi Party and accused them of suppressing backward classes&rsquo; rights and appeasing Muslims.&nbsp; He said, &ldquo;The alliance of Congress and SP is trying to suppress the reservation rights of backward classes. They are trying to divide the minorities. They have supported cow slaughter to appease the Muslims.&rdquo;

"The one who had called himself an accidental Hindu will sound funny if he talks about India's history and culture," Adityanath added, taking a dig at the former Congress chief.

'Accidental Hindu' should talk about atrocities committed by Mughals: Adityanath's dig at Rahul

"The one who had called himself an accidental Hindu will sound funny if he talks about India's history and culture," Adityanath added, taking a dig at the former Congress chief.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath took potshots at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday, saying the leader who had called himself an "accidental Hindu" should talk about great Hindu kings and the destruction of temples in Ayodhya, Kashi and Mathura by Mughal emperors.
On the Congress's objection over the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), Adityanath said it is an issue of humanity and alleged that the opposition party's protest is due to "pressure" from "radical elements".
Gandhi makes "baseless" comments because he does not have proper knowledge of India's history and geography, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader told reporters here.
"Rahul Gandhi remains in discussion because of his baseless comments," he said.
"The one who had called himself an accidental Hindu will sound funny if he talks about India's history and culture," Adityanath added, taking a dig at the former Congress chief.
While delivering speeches, Gandhi should have mentioned great Hindu rulers, such as Chandragupta Maurya, Ashoka, Maharaja Bhoj, Prithviraj Chauhan, Chhatrapati Shivaji and Jhansi ki Rani, among others, who contributed in the making of India, he said.
Adityanath further claimed that Gandhi has forgotten about the "atrocities" committed by Mughal emperors in the medieval period.

The Congress could never have built the temple and it could be done only by a nationalist dispensation like the one being led by Modi, the UP CM said.

 Adityanath hails 'ajaatshatru' Gadkari for pursuing development

The Congress could never have built the temple and it could be done only by a nationalist dispensation like the one being led by Modi, the UP CM said.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday called Union Minister and BJP's Nagpur Lok Sabha candidate Nitin Gadkari 'ajaatshatru' (one without enemies).
Addressing a poll rally, he asked people to ensure Narendra Modi becomes prime minister for a third term saying "hum unko laayenge jo Ram ko laaye hain" (we will elect those who built the Ram Temple).
People are fortunate to see the Ram Temple getting built in Ayodhya in their lifetime and it had given people the joy of seeing "Ram Lalla play Holi" in the holy town after 500 years, he said.
The Congress could never have built the temple and it could be done only by a nationalist dispensation like the one being led by Modi, the UP CM said.
"Bharat is a centuries old nation but no government since Independence spoke of development, safety and faith. They pursued casteism. However, today, under Modi, development and welfare is taking place without discrimination," he said.
Hailing Gadkari, the UP CM said, "He represents development and is ajaatshatru. He should be elected with a record number of votes." Gadkari praised Adityanath for changing the face of UP by maintaining law and order and bringing in industrial and agricultural development.
"Farmers are happy in UP as they are getting dues in time and migration from the state is decreasing due to creation of employment opportunities," the Union minister said.

In a post on X in Hindi, Adityanath said, &ldquo;Today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi virtually participated in the inauguration/foundation ceremony of various railway projects costing more than Rs 85,000 crores, which will give momentum to the development of the nation.&rdquo; "PM Modi inaugurated 10 new Vande Bharat Express trains, including Patna-Lucknow, Lucknow-Dehradun, Ranchi-Varanasi and extended the Gorakhpur-Lucknow Vande Bharat Express train to Prayagraj,&rdquo; he said.
&ldquo;To ease the transportation of goods in the country, the goods trains of the dedicated freight corridor were also flagged off. I would like to thank PM Modi for these gifts which will help in the creation of 'Developed India'!&rdquo; Adityanath said in the post.

The CM alleged that the SP government deliberately obstructed the development of Kashi, Ayodhya, and Vrindavan.

The CM alleged that the SP government deliberately obstructed the development of Kashi, Ayodhya, and Vrindavan.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday accused the previous Samajwadi Party government of stalling development of Ayodhya, where a grand Ram Temple is under construction.
He also indicated that after Ram Temple, it was the turn of Mathura to get a grand Krishna temple.
Adityanath made the remarks speaking during the governor's address in the state legislative assembly.
"We agree that the temple dispute was in the court but the roads there could have been widened. 'Ghats' there could have been revived. Electricity could have been supplied. Sanitation arrangements could have been made there. Better health facilities could have been provided there. An airport could have been built," Adityanath said, with former chief minister Akhilesh Yadav present in the House.
The CM alleged that the SP government deliberately obstructed the development of Kashi, Ayodhya, and Vrindavan.
Adityanath also referred to the removal of the barricades at the 'Vyas ji ka Tahkhana' in Gyanvapi mosque complex in Varanasi after a local court allowed prayers there.
