Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath lashed out at the opposition, ‘If Congress-SP win then efforts will be made, if the Election Commission loses then the blame will be on’.


These days, the phase of rhetoric is at its peak in the political corridors of Uttar Pradesh, where sharp disputes are being seen between the ruling party and the opposition on every issue. In this series, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has made a very sharp and strong political attack on the opposition, especially Congress and Samajwadi Party (SP). CM Yogi fiercely targeted the attitude of the opposition in which they put constitutional institutions and especially the Election Commission in the dock for winning and losing elections. The Chief Minister bluntly said that the double character of the opposition has now been completely exposed before the public, because when they win the elections, they call it the result of their ‘efforts’ and strength, but when the public rejects them and they lose, then to hide their failure, they directly start making false allegations on the Election Commission and EVMs.

During his address, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath took the opposition leaders to task and said that constitutional institutions are the backbone of the country’s democracy, but seeing their political ground slipping, some parties are continuously working to undermine the credibility of these institutions. He said that the people of Uttar Pradesh and the country have now become so intelligent that they understand this petty political drama of the opposition very well. When election results come in their favour, they call the Election Commission’s process transparent, but as soon as the public rejects them, they immediately start questioning the impartiality of the Commission. Calling it a direct insult to democracy and the Constitution, the Chief Minister said that in the panic of defeat, making such fabricated allegations has become an old habit of the opposition leaders, due to which they are unsuccessfully trying to save their political relevance.

Speaking further, CM Yogi said that the Bharatiya Janata Party government has always kept the public welfare, security and all-round development of the state paramount. Due to the historic reforms in the law and order situation and infrastructure in Uttar Pradesh, today the people of the state are completely in favor of development. The benefits of the transparent policies and schemes of the double engine government are reaching every section without any discrimination, due to which the public’s trust in BJP is continuously getting strengthened. The Chief Minister taunted that the opposition parties neither have any concrete vision nor any model of development to show to the public, that is why they start looking for excuses for their defeat even before the elections and blame their shortcomings on the constitutional institutions.

In the last few years, a huge change has been seen in the politics of Uttar Pradesh, where the politics of caste and appeasement has now been replaced by development, security and good governance. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath emphasized that the people of the state have now left behind the era of hooliganism, corruption and nepotism. No matter how much the opposition parties try to mislead the public and spread misleading propaganda, the ground reality is that the public has made up its mind to take the wheel of development forward. After this sharp statement of the Chief Minister, the war of words has once again intensified in the politics of the state, and reactions are coming out continuously from the opposition parties, due to which the upcoming election atmosphere remains heated.
