INDIA bloc promotes cow slaughter, remain vigilant, Yogi Adityanath tells voters in U.P.

Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath warns against supporting cow slaughter, criticizes Congress and promotes BJP's achievements.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday alleged that the INDIA bloc aims to promote cow slaughter and cautioned the public to not become participants in this ‘sin’.

“People in the Opposition alliance are Ramdrohi (anti-Ram), they would even want to permit cow slaughter,” Mr. Adityanath said at a rally in support of BJP candidate from Kushinagar Vijay Kumar Dubey.

“The INDIA bloc claims that if it comes to power, it let minorities eat whatever they want. Is there any difference in the food of minorities and the majority? The Congress is discussing promoting cow slaughter. Will you become a partner in this sin? You need to be vigilant,” he said.

The Chief Minister targeted the Congress for allegedly saying that minorities have the first right over the country’s resources. “Does it mean our Dalits and backward classes have secondary rights,” he asked.

Mr. Adityanath said the Musahar community in Kushinagar district starved when the Samajwadi Party was in power. But under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, each Musahar family is benefitting from government schemes and has a house, a land lease and a ration card, he said.

The BJP leader said before 2014, terror attacks instilled fear among the masses, but the Narendra Modi-led BJP government cracked down on terrorism, he said. “Our government took decisive steps, revoked Article 370, which was the foundation of terrorism. We taught tough lessons to Pakistan. Now, even when a firecracker explodes, Pakistan promptly denies involvement,” he said.
