The chief minister also warned government employees against attacking interests of people. He said if anyone tried to outrage the modesty of women he would be eliminated

In Amroha, where the BJP has fielded Sangeeta Chauhan, a retired bank official and widow of former India opener and UP minister Chetan Chauhan, Adityanath lashed out at former Congress president Rahul Gandhi for meeting members of Popular Front of India (PFI) in Kerala.

“He (Rahul Gandhi) openly meets family members of PFI, which had plans to instigate a series of riots in the country. Those doing politics in the name of religion are attempting to disturb the communal harmony of the nation,” Adityanath said.

The UP CM also raised the issue of alleged exodus from Kairana and Kandhla localities in western UP, an issue flagged by former BJP MP from Kairana late Hukum Singh in 2018.

“The caste and communal politics was responsibl­e for exodus of businessme­n and traders from Kairana and Kandhla and killings of innocent youths like Sachin and Gaurav,” Adityanath said. “The opposition was against Kanwar Yatra but now under BJP rule the Kanwar Yatra is being taken out and flowers being showered on kanwariyas,” he said. Adityanath also said his government was going to set up a university in Aligarh in the name of Raja Mahendra Singh. “He was the person who donated all his property for AMU but today he has been totally neglected,” CM said.
