News India Live, Digital Desk: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath was once again seen in his familiar style in his home constituency Gorakhpur. The occasion was ‘Ekta Yatra’, but the message given by CM Yogi from the stage has heated up the political atmosphere in the state. In his sharpest attack yet on the opposition parties, especially the Congress and the Samajwadi Party (SP), he said there was a deep conspiracy going on in the country to create “a new Jinnah”.
“These people want to divide the country again”
Along with the announcement of making the national song ‘Vande Mataram’ mandatory in schools, the Chief Minister seriously accused the opposition of indulging in appeasement politics. He said that those who oppose ‘Vande Mataram’ are the same people who want to divide the country in the name of religion, caste and creed.
Taking a direct aim at Congress and SP, Yogi said, “Parties like Congress and Samajwadi Party are the ‘misfortune’ of the country. Their politics has always been divisive. These people want to weaken the country to earn their political fortunes and are trying to create a new Jinnah under the same appeasement politics.”
Why mention Jinnah?
Mohammad Ali Jinnah was one of the main characters of the partition of India. By mentioning Jinnah, CM Yogi has tried to give a direct message that the policies of the opposition are taking the country in the same direction, where personal and religious interests are placed above the national interest.
Appealing to the people present in the meeting, he said, “We have to recognize such forces and fight them firmly, so that in future no other Jinnah can be born and challenge the integrity of India. For us, no religion or sect can be bigger than the country.”
This statement of CM Yogi clearly shows that in the coming times, the politics of nationalism and appeasement is going to be at the center of the political arena of Uttar Pradesh. He has sparked a big debate by calling the opposition a direct threat to the unity of the country.
