Did Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Bharatiya Janata Paty (BJP) create a flutter across the country by Has electing Yogi Adityanath to be the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh? The CM certainly thinks so. During a two-day BJP state executive meet in Lucknow, Adityanath said that there is much talk about the party choosing him as the leader.
In a report in NDTV, the CM has been quoted as saying that the opposition parties are so worried that they want to unite to take on Yogi. “There is much talk about how such a namoona (specimen) was made Chief Minister by (Prime Minister Narendra) Modiji,” the Chief Minister was quoted.
Adityanath also said that in his regime, the politics of casteism and appeasement will end and an agenda of development and nationalism will sustain. He also said that the BJP has been projected as communal by the rival parties but he added that people showing faith in them showcases that the voters feel that the party stands for their welfare.
“There is a flutter in the political spectrum after the UP poll results. Politics of nepotism, casteism and appeasement will now end and only politics of development and ‘rashtra bhakti’ (nationalism) will sustain,” Adityanath said.
Talking about his plans for the state, he said that concerns were raised about the security of women wherever he went during the election campaign. Acting on the complaints, the CM constituted anti-Romoeo squads within 24 hours of assuming office. “While some opposed the move, our mothers and sisters have appreciated it and their comments came in media”.
He also justified his government’s decision to close illegal abattoirs in the state. “Police officers were stabbed and beaten when they went for the closure of such slaughter houses in the previous regime. I told them (police) that now the government has changed…all knives have now vanished and all illegal slaughter houses were closed. Those functioning will also be taken care of,” he said.
He claimed that the previous government supported those operating illegal slaughterhouses due to which they could create nuisance.
