LUCKNOW, June 19 -- Chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday launched a sharp attack on the Samajwadi Party and the Congress, alleging that the two parties had worked only for their families and lacked the ability to deliver development. "For the Congress, only the Nehru-Gandhi family was poor and for the SP, it was the Saifai family. Have you ever seen the Congress or SP leaders crying for the poor? They shed tears when the mafia dies," he said. Adityanath was addressing a gathering in Unnao after inaugurating and laying the foundation stone of 101 development projects worth over Rs 570 crore. He said the work done by the BJP government at the Centre in the last 12 years and in the state for nine years was never done by the Congress and SP despite their long tenure in power. "Who stopped the Congress and Samajwadi Party from doing what our government at the state and Centre have done?" he said as he criticised the Congress and Samajwadi Party for ignoring the poor and development work during their rule. "They (Congress and the SP) could not think beyond these families. If the poor tried to raise their voice, they were suppressed. If a political party raised its voice, goons used to come and create lawlessness by kidnapping traders. For me, Uttar Pradesh is home and its 25 crore people are my family," he said. The chief minister described Unnao as a land of spirituality, literature and revolution. He paid tribute to local spiritual centres, literary figures and freedom fighters. He also remembered the contributions of former assembly speaker Hriday Narayan Dikshit. "When India's identity was under threat during British rule, freedom fighters Raja Rambaksh Singh and Veer Gulab Singh Lodhi made supreme sacrifices and weakened the foundations of British rule," he said. India's governance has become an example for the world, he said, adding that while countries like the United States are struggling with inflation, India has effectively handled these difficulties. "While the world is facing challenges such as an energy crisis, economic slowdown and instability in West Asia, India under Prime Minister Modi's leadership has provided relief to its people and successfully managed these challenges," he said. He added that India is strengthening security, respecting faith and boosting the economy, while terrorists, extremists and Naxalites are being answered in their own language....
