“These people want to lay the foundation for the division of the country on religious grounds. Your one vote will prove decisive in changing the image and destiny of the country. The public should ‘spoil’ the plans of the Congress in time through their votes,” wrote Mr. Adityanath on X (formerly Twitter), appealing the public to cast their votes.
Later addressing a public meeting in Sambhal, the U.P. CM dubbed the Opposition as ‘poisonous’ people who must not be voted. “Those poisonous people must not be voted for. These people even hesitate to chant ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’ and sing ‘Vande Mataram’,” added Mr. Adityanath.
The U.P. CM said that the Congress manifesto calls for freedom to eat whatever minorities want, meaning Congress is going to give exemption for cow slaughter.

“Means Congress is going to give exemption for cow slaughter. Look at these shameless people, how they are playing with the faith of India. India will not accept it,” alleged Mr. Adityanath.
He accused the grand-old-party of trying to play dirty tricks over reservation for Scheduled Caste (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs) and Other Backward Classes (OBCs). “Between 2004 and 2014, when the UPA government was in power, they worked to break the reservation for the SC, STs and backward caste people,” added Mr. Adityanath.
