Yogi Adityanath Accuses Opposition of Naxal Promotion Amid Jharkhand Polls

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath alleged that ruling parties in Jharkhand, including Congress and JMM, are misleading and looting the public, promoting leftists, and turning the state into a Naxal hub. He emphasized BJP's potential victory and criticized rival leaders for focusing on divisive politics.

In a fiery address amid the ongoing assembly elections in Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath accused the state's ruling parties, notably Congress, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), and Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), of corruption and deception. He asserted that these parties were fostering leftist ideologies to transform Jharkhand into a stronghold for Naxals, thereby misleading the public.

As Jharkhand progresses through its election phases, Adityanath expressed confidence in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) securing an absolute majority, claiming the electorate has resolved to replace the existing power structure with BJP governance. He recounted his experiences as a former MP, emphasizing the need to prevent these parties from exploiting the state further.

Highlighting a contrast with the achievements of his own administration, Adityanath remarked on the absence of riots or curfews in Uttar Pradesh since the BJP assumed power, advocating for a 'new India' characterized by safety and resisting provocation. Concurrently, Karnataka Rural Development Minister Priyank Kharge censured Adityanath for allegedly sowing division, urging a focus on constructive achievements rather than divisive rhetoric ahead of elections.
