Yogi calls bulldozer UP’s brand as saints target Akhilesh over Ayodhya
CNN Central News and Networks / ITDC India ePress / ITDC News / Agencies:
Political rhetoric has intensified in Uttar Pradesh ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has said the bulldozer has now become Uttar Pradesh’s brand. He said the rule of law has replaced mafia rule in the state and the government’s zero-tolerance policy against criminals continues. He said both bulldozers and tractors will now be manufactured in Uttar Pradesh. The Chief Minister was addressing the foundation stone-laying programme for CNH Industrial’s tractor manufacturing plant to be set up in the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority area on Thursday. The plant is being established at a cost of about Rs 1,200 crore.
Politics heats up over Akhilesh’s Ayodhya visit
The political atmosphere is also heated over Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav’s proposed programme to have darshan of Ramlalla in Ayodhya on December 12. Yogi Adityanath has already said Akhilesh should apologise to Ram devotees and saints for the firing on kar sevaks in 1990 before coming to Ayodhya. Akhilesh, meanwhile, has promised to make Ayodhya a global Sanatan pilgrimage centre and to take development works forward.
Controversy over Jagatguru Paramhans Acharya’s remark
Meanwhile, Jagatguru Paramhans Acharya, commenting on Akhilesh Yadav’s Ayodhya visit, said that “Ahirs have started oiling their sticks.” His remark has triggered discussion in political and social circles. The Ayodhya visit, the 1990 incident and the reactions of saints have brought religious issues as well as electoral politics to the centre of discussion in the state.
