Yogi Adityanath accuses Samajwadi Party and Congress of maligning Ayodhya
The Chief Minister claimed opposition parties are spreading propaganda against the city after failing to stop its development.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath accused the Samajwadi Party (SP) and Congress of spreading propaganda against Ayodhya on Sunday. Speaking in Gorakhpur, Adityanath said those who previously denied the existence of Ram are now maligning the city, according to The Times of India.
The Chief Minister made these remarks while celebrating Diwali with the Van Tangiya community at Jungle Tinkonia No. 3 village. He stated that the political future of both opposition parties would be at stake if the current pace of development continues.
Adityanath inaugurated and laid the foundation for 52 development projects worth Rs 82.41 crore. These projects, which cover rural development, eco-tourism, and the Global Nagar Bazaar initiative, include an interlocking road and an eco-park in Kusmhi forest.
The Chief Minister noted that since the BJP government took power in Uttar Pradesh in 2017, facilities such as roads, electricity, airports, and railway lines have expanded. He added that Van Tangiya villages were recognised as revenue villages after 2017, allowing residents to access government schemes and participate in elections.
Adityanath also warned against drugs and gambling during festivals, stating that the government has launched a crackdown on drug peddlers following its campaign against mafias. He urged young people to focus on education while the government ensures employment opportunities.
