Yogi Adityanath hits out at Opposition parties, asks people to maintain distance from 'Ram-drohis'

"Those who are not the well-wisher of Lord Ram can never be your well-wisher," Adityanath said ahead of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly election.

Lucknow: Accusing opposition parties of being against Lord Ram, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday said that such "Ram-drohis" not only harmed the faith but also disturbed the social fabric, impeded development and threw the state in the "fire of riots" during their rule.

"Those who are not the well-wisher of Lord Ram can never be your well-wisher," Adityanath said while addressing the members of the Vishwakarma community at a meeting organised by the BJP Backward Classes Front in the run-up to the Uttar Pradesh Assembly election.

"Maintaining distance from Ram-drohis (who are anti-Ram), who shield terrorists, embrace rioters, tear the social fabric would be better for your present and also for the bright future of your coming generations," he said.
