Addressing a public rally in Chandigarh, Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath on Monday launched a scathing attack against Rahul Gandhi and the Congress party, saying that they are responsible for the terrorism, naxalism, corruption, and anarchy in the country.
“Whenever there is any crisis in the country, Rahul Gandhi’s name comes first among those who run away from the country,” says the Chief Minister.
“Corona was the biggest crisis the country has faced since the last century. Was Rahul Gandhi seen addressing the situation anywhere? Did he come to Chandigarh? He did not even come to Uttar Pradesh,” he added further.
He praised the role played by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Prime Minister Narendra Modi in handling the Corona crisis, pointing out that the PM met with MPs and MLAs to discuss the situation. We requested service during the crisis from all party employees.
“We did our best to serve the country during the COVID period,” he continued. As the chief minister, I visited different villages. After arriving in Uttar Pradesh, one crore Pravasi were had to travel to numerous locations in Bihar, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, and other states. I set everything up for everyone. I managed to arrange for 14,000 busses so that everyone could leave safely.”
