Remain vigilant and united against divisive forces: Yogi Adityanath

The CM inaugurated 74 development projects worth Rs 185 crore for several gram panchayats across the district. In his Diwali message, he urged everyone to remain vigilant and united against divisive forces, warning of the potential return to disorder if such elements were allowed influence. “If we allow ourselves to be misled by these forces, they will bring back hooliganism, anarchy, and riots. They’ll sow chaos,” he said.

He elaborated on the “destructive tendencies” of such elements, saying, “They pose threats to the safety of daughters and sisters, occupy land belonging to the poor, kidnap businessmen, shoot innocent passersby, and instigate riots just before festivals. This was their pattern before 2017.”

The Chief Minister remarked that such elements now recognise that those who breach the peace will face dire consequences, saying, “Now, if someone takes the law into their own hands, they know it will lead to ‘Ram naam satya.’ If anyone dares to dishonour a sister or daughter, they understand that their path will lead to the same fate as Duryodhan and Dushashan. Similarly, those who attempt to disrupt festivals by instigating riots are also aware of the repercussions.”

“Ramrajya is a place where everyone benefits from government schemes without discrimination,” he added. “There is no division based on caste, language, region, or social status,” said Adityanath. He highlighted that the vision of “Ramrajya” remained incomplete for 500 years, as Ram Lalla had not yet been enshrined in his rightful temple in Ayodhya. He remarked that, for centuries, the true essence of Lord Ram was absent from the city known by his name.

“After a wait of 500 years, Lord Ram Lalla has now been enshrined in his grand and divine temple, making this year extraordinary, filled with wonder and significance that will captivate the world,” he expressed. “This is a time of immense transformation for us all.”

Adityanath further emphasised the “inseparable bond” between Sanatan Dharma and India, saying, “If Sanatan Dharma thrives, India thrives, and when India is strong, Sanatan Dharma will be strong. Weakness in either means weakness in both.”
