UP CM Adityanath slams SP, Akhilesh, charges ‘Party has strayed from Netaji’s principles’

He also urged people to vote for BJP candidates – Surendra Diler from Khair, Suresh Awasthi from Sisamau and Anujesh Yadav from Karhal. The CM alleged that Akhilesh’s actions go against the values of his father and Samajwadi Party founder, the late Mulayam Singh Yadav. He pointed out that Akhilesh’s SP is now aligned with Congress, a party that had imprisoned ‘Netaji’ (Mulayam) during the Emergency.

“Netaji always opposed Congress and believed that they should never be associated with it, even through deceit. But now, SP has moved away from Netaji’s principles. The late Mulayam Singh Yadav must be hurt by the SP leadership’s actions, as his son has aligned the party with Congress and is determined to destroy it,” he said.

The CM also mentioned that some people have a tendency to stay with their past associations for life. He said, “Babua hasn’t grown up yet and his actions do create problems for the people of Mainpuri.” Yogi said that Mulayam Singh Yadav had made Ram Manohar Lohia his role model, and Lohia believed that a true socialist is someone who has no attachment to wealth or family. However, in the Samajwadi Party, all the important positions are controlled by one family, said the CM.

He also accused the SP of being “anti-Ram”, pointing out that they did not visit the Ram temple because they feared losing their vote bank.
The Chief Minister urged the people of Karhal to question SP leaders on why they seek votes if they cannot respect Lord Krishna. He highlighted that the BJP fulfilled its promise to build the Ram temple and now intends to “honour the sentiments of the people in Mathura and Vrindavan as well.”

He questioned whether the SP supports this vision for Mathura-Vrindavan, criticising them for seeking votes without showing respect for Lord Krishna and remaining silent on the issue. In contrast, he emphasized that the BJP is actively developing pilgrimage sites such as Mathura, Gokul, Barsana, Baldev, and Vrindavan, aiming to restore the spiritual essence of Mathura-Vrindavan to its former glory.

He pointed out that the SP’s “lies” were exposed during the Lok Sabha elections and asked where the promised Rs 1 lakh for each person had gone. Adityanath said in Khair that the results of the Haryana Assembly elections show that the public desires a double-engine government. He highlighted that the state has established a university in the name of Raja Mahendra Pratap Singh of Aligarh, a figure “forgotten by the Congress”.

He remarked that when the public’s money is invested in such institutions, all people should benefit from reservation in jobs and admissions. He criticized Congress, SP, and BSP for opposing these changes, accusing them of prioritising their votebanks over national unity and the welfare of the people.

The CM also lashed out at the National Conference government in Jammu and Kashmir for passing a resolution calling for the reinstatement of Article 370. He also alleged that efforts are being made by some vested interests to turn Kashmir back into a “hub of terrorism.

The Chief Minister also warned the people against the Congress’ attempts to divide people. He emphasized that when people are divided, they suffer, but unity ensures safety and progress. He also condemned the insults to religious sites such as the Ram Temple, Lord Vishwanath’s temple and “Krishna’s birthplace in Mathura.”

He also spoke of the hardships faced by mothers, sisters, and daughters in the past, warning that if people remain blinded by caste divisions and self-interest, it will lead to a future marked by destruction and division.

The CM compared Uttar Pradesh before and after 2017, highlighting significant improvements. He explained that earlier, riots and curfews would occur every 10 days in Aligarh, but in the past seven and a half years, no one has dared to create disturbances. He warned that those who try to cause trouble now will face strict consequences, including punishment and the seizure of their property, which will then be distributed to the poor.

He also pointed out how the state saw “chaos” under previous governments, with schemes like Indira Awas (PM Awas) being misused, where only one person in the village would receive the benefit. Pension was also given only to Samajwadi Party supporters.

He also praised the fulfillment of Kalyan Singh’s dream for Aligarh, mentioning the establishment of an airport and the city’s transformation into an important hub for the Defence Manufacturing Corridor. The lock industry in Aligarh has been revived, and it is becoming a key centre for hardware manufacturing, the CM added.
