Gorakhpur (UP): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday claimed that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government will be re-elected with an overwhelming majority in the Lok Sabha elections.
Talking to the reporters after casting his vote in the last phase of the Lok Sabha elections, the CM said that the people are strongly supporting PM Modi’s vision for a Viksit (developed) and Aatmanirbhar (self-reliant) Bharat.
He said, “The final phase of the Lok Sabha polls is taking place across 57 seats in 8 states. This includes 13 seats in eastern UP, including Maharajganj, Gorakhpur, Deoria, Kushinagar, Bansgaon, Salempur, Ballia, Ghosi, Robertsganj, Ghazipur, Varanasi, Chandauli, and Mirzapur.”
Yogi said that over the past two and a half months, various political parties have presented their issues to the people to fulfil the aspirations of the general public. “They have presented the work and achievements of their governments,” he said.
He said, “To elect the new government in the country, people have done a comparative analysis of the performances of the previous governments and the Modi govt in the last 10 years. Considering the support received across the nation, it can be said that when the results will come on June 4, those individuals, parties and governments that have worked towards a self-reliant and developed India, preserving heritage while fostering development, showing compassion for the poor, and ensuring a bright future for the youth, will receive full support,” he said.
The CM said that over the past 10 years, everyone has witnessed a changing India and in the last 7 years they have seen a new UP under the double-engine government. “Under PM Modi’s leadership, the work was done for the youth, farmers, businessmen, women, and every section of society with a spirit of security, respect and development,” he said.
He expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the voters for their enthusiasm despite the soaring mercury reaching around 50 degrees at this time. “Despite this, the enthusiasm of the people to vote in order to strengthen democracy has not diminished,” he said.
Yogi urged the people to rise above caste and religion and vote to realise the vision of a Viksit (developed) and Aatmanirbhar (self-reliant) Bharat. “To make the country the world’s third-largest economy in the next three years and to bring prosperity to the lives of all citizens, the people’s blessings are with PM Modi and the BJP,” he said.
He said that under PM Modi’s leadership, the government has undertaken unprecedented work for the safety, respect, and self-reliance of women. Initiatives like the Nari Shakti Vandana Act, Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao and Matru Vandana Yojana have given a new direction to women’s empowerment.
The CM urged young voters that they should actively participate in the campaign to advance the new India, which is equipped with excellent infrastructure and earning respect worldwide.
He also cautioned young voters against parties and individuals trying to mislead them. “Our future is bright with the goal of a self-reliant and developed India, and the youth should cast their votes with this goal in mind,” he said.
Yogi said, “PM Modi has recognised only four castes that are youth, poor, women and farmers and has their complete support.”
He gave a sharp response to the statements made by opposition leaders regarding PM Modi’s spiritual-nationalist pursuits. In response to the questions asked, he said that PM Modi’s spiritual devotion is a complete national devotion, as he serves Mother India tirelessly, without fatigue, without pause.
The CM said, “However, those who indulge in corruption, immorality, and misconduct cannot understand the importance of spiritual devotion. To understand spiritual devotion, one needs a mindset like that of India and Indians. There should be a sentiment of dedication to India’s eternal values and ideals.”
In response to a question about the review meeting of the parties in the INDI alliance, he said that it is good that the leaders of the parties of the opposition will sit together before June 4 because, as many parties as there are in this alliance, there will be as many disputes after June 4. “They will all then blame each other, and insult each other,” he alleged.
