Maintain distance from ‘Ram-drohis’ who embrace rioters: Adityanath

Lucknow : Accusing opposition parties of being against Lord Ram, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday said that such “Ram-drohis” not only harmed the faith but also disturbed the social fabric, impeded development and threw the state in the “fire of riots” during their rule.
Those who are not the well-wisher of Lord Ram can never be your well-wisher, Adityanath said while addressing the members of the Vishwakarma community at a meeting organised by the BJP Backward Classes Front in the run-up to the Uttar Pradesh Assembly election.
Maintaining distance from Ram-drohis (who are anti-Ram), who shield terrorists, embrace rioters, tear the social fabric would be better for your present and also for the bright future of your coming generations, he said.
The firebrand BJP leader, who has often been accused by the opposition of making statements with communal overtones, alleged that under the previous governments, there were riots before Hindu festivals.
“The masses were unable to celebrate and would live in fear in the shadow of curfew. And these people (opposition leaders) would shamelessly don skull caps and insult the people of the state,” Adityanath said, asserting that all this has stopped under his government.
He alleged that the Congress, SP and BSP were trying to harm Ram Setu, while the BJP protected it.
