Yogi: Only BJP can deal with Naxals, ISI

Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath Wednesday said only the BJP could firmly deal with the Naxal problem and ISI activities in the country, and ensure security for every citizen.

Addressing a rally in pollbound Telangana, he said, “The BJP will resolve the Naxal issue and act sternly against the antiIndia activities of the ISI (Pakistan’s spy agency Inter Services Intelligence) to ensure security for every citizen.” Adityanath said thousands of years ago, Lord Ram had carried out the same work and ensured a secure society, free from the threat of demonic threat and one which did not discriminate against anyone; everyone felt secure, and “only the BJP can do this today”.

He accused the K Chandrashekar Rao-led government of betraying the people of Telangana for the last four-and-a-half years and alleged that prior to this (in undivided Andhra Pradesh), Congress and Telugu Desam Party had “exploited” them. “KCR and the TRS did nothing for Telangana and similarly, the Congress-TDP alliance is coming only to exploit you; the only option left with you is the BJP,” he said.

“Had these people (Congress, TDP, TRS) taken the development works forward, provided employment to the youth, worked for farmers’ welfare and put elaborate security arrangements in place then Karimnagar would not have marched towards becoming a hub of ISI activities.

“Only BJP can effectively tackle Naxals and deal with ISI activities with an iron hand and ensure security for every citizen of the country and hence, I have come to seek your support for the BJP,” he said.

The Uttar Pradesh CM alleged that the Congress, TDP and TRS were still lying under the “slavery of Nizamshahi” and practising family rule.

PM Modi’s government built crores of houses and toilets, gave LPG connections to crores of poor people, opened 32 crore Jan Dhan bank accounts and also brought the Pradhan Mantri Jan Aarogya Yojana health insurance scheme, he said, adding, until one got rid of “Nizamshahi”, development could not be achieved.

He described the TDP, TRS and the Congress as dynastic parties and claimed that the BJP did not work that way.
