Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday accused the Samajwadi Party (SP) and Congress of opposing the development of religious sites, saying “those who love graveyards are the ones opposing the Ram Mandir.”
Addressing a public meeting after inaugurating and laying the foundation stone of 229 development projects worth over Rs 710 crore in Banda and Baberu Assembly constituencies, Adityanath alleged that previous SP governments spent public money on constructing graveyard boundary walls instead of developing temples and pilgrimage centres.
The Chief Minister highlighted the transformation of Bundelkhand over the past nine years, citing improved connectivity, irrigation, law and order and employment opportunities. He also criticised the SP MLA from Baberu, alleging that he was “interested in harassing the poor” rather than promoting development, while appealing to people to reject “negative and anti-development” politics.
