Gorakhpur, November 9
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said, “Having failed to stop the momentum of Ayodhya’s heritage and development, the people of the Samajwadi Party (SP) and Congress are now spreading misinformation against Ayodhya out of fear. Those spreading misinformation against Ayodhya know that if this journey of heritage and development continues in the same manner, the politics of SP and Congress will be buried forever. A crisis of identity will emerge before those who had once created an identity crisis for the state.”
The Chief Minister stated, “If this journey continues with the same strength and unity, a crisis of identity will arise for Congress and SP themselves, which is why they have started resorting to misinformation.” Strongly asserting his government’s resolve against drug traffickers, the Chief Minister said that his government would not allow drug traffickers to thrive.
CM Yogi visited Vantangiya village, Jungle Tinkonia Number Three, on Sunday to celebrate Diwali with the forest-dwelling community. For the tenth consecutive time as Chief Minister, he shared the festivities of the festival of lights with the Vantangiya community. After concluding Deepotsav in Shri Ayodhyadham on Saturday, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath arrived at Vantangiya village, Tinkonia Number Three, on Sunday morning. He inaugurated and laid the foundation stones for 52 development projects worth Rs 82.41 crore related to the development of various gram panchayats in the district, eco-tourism, the Global Nagar Bazaar and other initiatives.
Extending heartfelt Diwali greetings and best wishes to the gathering present on the occasion, CM Yogi referred to the construction of the Ram Temple and the rapid development of Ayodhya as well as the entire state, and said that everything is possible if there is the will to accomplish it. Reminding people of the situation before 2017, he informed saying ‘Jai Shri Ram’ in Ayodhya was prohibited, and lathis and bullets were used. At that time, opposition party leaders used to say that Lord Ram had never existed. They used to claim that not even a bird could fly over Ayodhya. These people would mobilise forces against the construction of the Ram Temple.
The Chief Minister said, “When the Bharatiya Janata Party government came to power in Uttar Pradesh in 2017 following Prime Minister Modi’s call, development works were undertaken at a rapid pace. Roads have been constructed, electricity has reached people, airports are being built, new railway lines are being laid, and the people are receiving the benefits of facilities without discrimination.”
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath appealed to everyone to share happiness with others during festivals and stay away from intoxicants and gambling. He stated, “Intoxication leads to destruction, while gambling makes a person a slave. These two harmful tendencies can destroy even a well-settled family.”
The Chief Minister further informed, “The state government was taking action against drug traffickers. After the elimination of mafias, the next phase of action has begun specifically against drug traffickers.” He emphatically stated, “Those who destroy the lives of others will not be allowed to thrive.”
The Chief Minister said that when a good government comes to power, it also brings good facilities, whereas a bad government joins hands with drug traffickers and plays with the future of the children. Calling upon the youth to stay away from intoxicants, the Chief Minister stated, “They should study well. The BJP’s double-engine government would take responsibility for guaranteeing jobs and employment.” He appealed to the food-producing farmers to ensure good crop yields and said that the government would ensure several times the value of their produce through processing and value addition.
