Congress will ‘support cow killing’, impose Aurangzeb’s ‘jizya tax’, Yogi Adityanath says in Madhya Pradesh

The Congress wants to “implement Aurangzeb’s jizya tax” and also “support cow killing” as the party has become “directionless”, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and BJP leader Yogi Adityanath alleged on Saturday in Madhya Pradesh. 

“They have said that if a Congress-led INDI Alliance government is formed, they will give freedom of food as per the interest of minorities. Are the food interests of minorities different than those of the majority community? The bread, rice and regular food choices are same but the majority community refrains from cow meat,” Mr. Adityanath said at a rally in Madhya Pradesh’s Ashok Nagar under the Guna Lok Sabha segment. 

“The majority opposes the killing of cows and eating cow meat. The Congress has stooped so low that it will now support cow killing. This is not the same Congress that contributed to the nation’s Independence. It has become directionless,” the U.P. CM said.
