Campaigning ahead of the bypoll in Mau district’s Ghosi on Saturday, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that the interests of the party, and not the progress of the State or Assembly constituency, were supreme for the Samajwadi Party.
Those who had instigated riots in Mau district today found themselves in a dire position under the Bharatiya Janata Party government, Mr. Adityanath said. “Only those who witnessed the Mau riots of 2005 will understand the importance of Ghosi. The then Samajwadi Party (SP) government proved ineffective in controlling the situation,” said the U.P. CM, addressing a public gathering organised in support of the saffron party nominee Dara Singh Chauhan, adding that the BJP government took a decisive stand against the rioters, irrespective of caste and religious affiliation.
Targeting the of PDA (Backwards, Dalits and Minorities) slogan coined by the SP, Mr. Adityanath stressed that other parties only talked about particular social groups while the BJP government had worked for every section of society under the idea of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas” (development for all). “Others discuss PDA, our government pursued “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas” under the guidance of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” the U.P. Chief Minister said.
