LUCKNOW: Attacking Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday, a day on which the former lost his membership to the Parliament after being convicted in a defamation case, chief minister Yogi Adityanath said that Congress and its leaders could not accept the fact that “the son of poor, Dalit, deprived, backward class had reached the highest position in the country”.
Referring to a controversial statement by Gandhi during an election rally in 2019, based on which he was convicted, Yogi said that the nation was witness to Gandhi’s statement against Dalits, poor, backward and underprivileged and how he had thrown parliamentary decorum to the winds. Addressing a public meeting following the inauguration and foundation stone laying ceremony of projects worth Rs 1,780 crore in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the CM said that in contrast to the Congress, the BJP government is moving forward with the motto of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Prayas’.
