Yogi Adityanath claimed that no riots took place in Uttar Pradesh in the past six years due to the strong ''double engine government".
In his first election rally in poll-bound Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday attacked the Congress over religion-based reservation saying that it was against the Constitution.
He also claimed that no riots took place in Uttar Pradesh in the past six years due to the strong ''double engine government".
"Congress appeases the Popular Front of India (PFI) and gives religion-based reservation, which is against the Indian Constitution," Yogi Adityanath said during an election rally here in the Vokkaliga heartland, the stronghold of JD(S) headed by former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda.
He was referring to the four per cent reservation for Muslims under 2B category of the Other Backward Classes, which the BJP government in Karnataka scrapped at the fag end of its tenure saying that religion-based quota has no constitutional backing.
