Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has warned the workers of his party to remain alert against the Opposition’s “conspiracies.”
Addressing the state executive meet of the Bharatiya Janata Party in Lucknow, he said that the saffron party put national security above partisan political interests. “Whether we are in power or in the opposition, the BJP has not compromised with anyone in the matter of national security.”
The Opposition, however, has a malicious intent, Adityanath reportedly said. In the wake of the security agencies arresting terrorists, he added, a responsible leader said that “we do not trust the security agencies of UP.”
The UP Chief Minister questioned the intention of this statement.
With the Assembly poll on the horizon, BJP “should remain alert” against the “conspiracies” of the opposition, he said.
“Slamming the Samajwadi Party, Adityanath claimed that after it formed government in the state in 2012, it took the initiative of withdrawing cases of those who carried out the blasts in the CRPF camp of Rampur, Ram Janmabhoomi in Ayodhya, Kashi and Lucknow courts,” PTI reported.
He also alleged that on Thursday “people of the SP were seen raising slogans in support of Pakistan in Agra.”
Expressing his anger at this, Adityanath said, “Imagine what kind of blueprint they have for the country’s security. This shows the fact that [these] people don’t mind playing with national security for vote bank.”
On Covid-19, he said, “A state with a large population like UP has been successful in presenting a model of Covid management.”
