Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath warns Yuva Vahini to be decent, not misuse saffron

Mall said Adityanath had asked the Vahini to monitor the government work and in case of any discrepancy or anomaly, workers should complain to the government and organisation leaders, but they should not misbehave with any officer. Sources said the Chief Minister expressed concern about the image of the Vahini as well the BJP in the meeting. While the Vahini is personally associated with him, the BJP is the ruling party.

“The CM said that it often happens that an unknown person with a saffron scarf or dress commits any indecent and illegal act but the HYV and the BJP organisations get blamed,” said a BJP leader who was present in the meeting.

The UP Chief Minister later addressed a meeting of the RSS and its various offshoots at its regional headquarters, Madhav Dhaam. He said problems were happening because of the difference between ideology and behaviour. “The day we start behaving according to what we speak, there will be no confusion and no problem,” he said.

In an apparent attack on so-called cow vigilantes, Adityanath said cows cannot be protected merely by chanting “Gau Mata ki jay”. Every one should make an effort for protection, conservation and development of cows, he said.

Adityanath suggested to the workers of the RSS offshoots that a difference should be visible in their movements after the formation of the new government. “Aap pehle jo aandolan karte thhey, uske andolan swaroop mein aur aaj ke swaroop mein antar kahin na kahin dikhai dena chahiye…. main yahi agrah karne aapke beech aya hoon,” he said.
