Congress must apologise for insulting backward classes, poor and Dalit people, says Yogi Adityanath
The Hindu
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on March 24 said Congress has always indulged in “politics of dividing the country” and has promoted Naxalism and terrorism for political gains, after Rahul Gandhi was disqualified from the Lok Sabha.
In a fierce attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who has been disqualified as Lok Sabha MP, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Varanasi on March 24, alleged that the grand old party and its leader cannot digest that sons of the poor, Dalit and backward classes are reaching the highest positions in India.
He was speaking at the Sampurnanand Sanskrit University grounds after PM Modi inaugurated and laid the foundation stone of projects worth ₹1,780 crore.
Mr. Adityanath said Congress has always indulged in “politics of dividing the country” and has promoted Naxalism and terrorism for political gains.
“The whole country witnessed how former Congress president and Lok Sabha member Rahul Gandhi gave a statement against backward communities, Dalits, poor and the underprivileged. He didn’t think about parliamentary decorum and stooped to the level of being in contempt of court. The Congress must apologise to the country for insulting the backward classes, poor and Dalits,” said the U.P. CM.
Mr. Adityanath further alleged that the Congress indulged in a negative campaign against the Prime Minister and never thought about development of India. The U.P. CM also said the party “tried to divide India on lines of caste, language and religion while setting new benchmarks in corruption” during its regime.
“When India is carving its space at global level, these people are obstructing its progress by defaming it,” added Mr. Adityanath.
