Congress A Problem For Country, Root Of Corruption: Yogi Adityanath

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath also attacked the Samajwadi Party, saying that the people of the state know that a vehicle with the party's flag means that there is a goon sitting inside.

Attacking the Congress in its bastion Rae Bareli, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday said the Sonia Gandhi-led party is a "problem" for the country and the root of anarchy and corruption.

Mr Adityanath, who was addressing a gathering as part of the ruling BJP's 'Jan Vishwas Yatra' ahead of the 2022 Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls, also attacked the Samajwadi Party, saying that the people of the state know that a vehicle with the party's flag means that there is a goon sitting inside.

Rae Bareli is the Lok Sabha constituency of Mrs Gandhi.

Mr Adityanath said, "The way the Congress' public representatives from Rae Bareli are joining the BJP, the Congress will be uprooted from Rae Bareli. The Congress is a problem for the country. Rae Bareli has never accepted foreign rule." The Congress is the root of terrorism, anarchy and corruption in the country, and works to spread casteism and linguistic differences, he alleged.
