"'Phir Ek Baar, Modi Sarkar' voice resonating in entire country," says Yogi Adityanath in Lakhimpur Kheri

Speaking at the rally, Yogi Adityanath said, "With the end of three phases, half of the election is over... One voice is resonating in the whole country, 'Phir Ek Baar, Modi Sarkar.' And the public is questioned about the reason behind the enthusiasm, they say, 'Jo Ram ko laye hai, ham unko layenge' (We will bring the one who brought Ram)."

Taking a dig at Congress, the Uttar Pradesh CM further said, "A so-called intellectual of Congress said that the construction of Ram Mandir was unnecessary. He is an advisor to Rahul Gandhi..."

Yogi Adityanath in his speech also claimed that for Congress and the Samajwadi Party, these elections are a way of getting power and added, "They (Congress and SP) will divide the nation based on caste... For them, the family comes first but for BJP, nation is first and hence, the elections for Congress and SP will be to make their family prosperous."

Lauding the ruling party, the UP CM said, "And for BJP, the elections would be to make India 'Viksit Bharat and Atmanirbhar Bharat...'"

Meanwhile, earlier in the day, Yogi Adityanath demanded that Congress should apologise to the country after Sam Pitroda made 'racist' remarks.

Speaking with ANI, the UP CM had said, "He (Sam Pitroda) is Congress' 'buddhidata' and he is displaying the party's policy of divide and rule. Congress is responsible for the partition in 1947, it is responsible for the horrors of partition. Even after the independence, it has committed the sin of dividing the country in the name of caste, region, and language. Sam Pitroda's remark is highly condemnable. Congress party should apologise to the country for the things it is making Sam Pitroda say." (ANI)
