UP CM Yogi offers prayers at Bharat Sevashram in West Bengal's Birbhum

Addressing a public rally in West Bengal's Birbhum, CM Yogi said, ".. BJP assures you that we will seize all wealth of mafias here and distribute it among the poor. All big mafias have either left UP or have been sent to 'jahanum'."

Lashing out at the Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee-led West Bengal government, he said, "Today, I have come here to ask the West Bengal government, how are Sandeshkhali-like incidents happening in a State that gave the message of Durga Puja to us? Today's Bengal is not 'Sonar Bangla' which was imagined by our freedom fighters."

He further alleged that attempts are being made to push West Bengal into riots.

Launching a scathing attack on the Congress party and the Trinamool Congress (TMC), he said, "Both the parties are united to loot the State and conspire against India...7 years ago the situation was the same in Uttar Pradesh. Today, our daughters and businessmen and traders in Uttar Pradesh are safe."

Earlier in the day, Yogi Adityanath declared that the people of the nation would not accept the Congress, Samajwadi Party, and INDIA bloc agenda to grant reservation to a specific religious group, thereby jeopardizing the constitutional framework and encroaching upon the reservation meant for backward and scheduled castes.

Interacting with the media at the Gorakhnath temple complex, the Chief Minister underscored, "The Bharatiya Janata Party staunchly opposes any form of reservation based on religion because the common people have suffered the brunt of partition of India based on religion. The BJP firmly supports reservation benefits for SC-ST and OBC communities." (ANI)
