After Ayodhya & Kashi, it's now turn of Braj Bhoomi: UP CM Yogi Adityanath in Fatehpur Sikri

Fatehpur Sikri, April 23: In yet another instance, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday reiterated that after Ayodhya and Kashi, it is now the turn of the Braj region of the state to shine and none can pose hurdle to its development. Targeting the opposition parties, he asked people to give these parties a break for five years by not voting for them so that they could recite the “Fatiha” on the graves of criminals.
Addressing an election rally in Agra’s Kirawali town for BJP candidate from Fatehpur Sikri seat Raj Kumar Chahar, the UP CM said,
“We have attained what we aimed at in Ayodhya and Kashi. Now it is the turn of Braj Bhoomi (of which Mathura—the birthplace of Bhagwan Shri Krishna—is a part). Braj area will not have to wait for development anymore".
The BJP has fielded sitting MP Raj Kumar Chahar from the Fatehpur Sikri Lok Sabha constituency. Chahar will fight BSP candidate Ram Niwas Sharma and Congress’s Ram Nath Sikarwar in Fatehpur Sikri, where voting will be held on May 7.
“Modi ji have proven that he can respect the ‘Virasat (heritage)’ and carry out development too. It was his efforts which paved the way for what all happened at Ayodhya and Kashi and Bharat Ratna was conferred on the late PM Chaudhary Charan Singh,” Yogi said.
Further, he asserted,
“It is your responsibility. If you respect heritage, then do not give a single vote to those who raised questions on Bhagwan Shri Ram and Krishna. Those who made false promises in the name of development policies, those who made you yearn for Ganga jal, make them yearn for votes. Say no to them. When they got the opportunity, they did not do anything".
“Together with mafias and criminals, they put businessmen and women's security at stake. Congress and SP are visiting Mafias's grave. Tell them that the vote will go to the BJP and that we are giving you leave for another 5 years to go and visit graves. We are here today to tell you that Modi's 3rd term will make India developed and self-reliant. The BJP needs your vote for a developed and self-reliant India," he added. ”
Yogi was referring to the SP chief Akhilesh Yadav’s recent visit to the house of the late mafia-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari to express condolences.
While speaking during the rally, Yogi further said that the BJP priorities nationhood but those in Opposition are raising issues of caste, community, and dynasty.
Lok Sabha polls 2024 are being held in Uttar Pradesh in all 7 phases from April 19 to June 1. The votes will be counted on June 4.
