Reacting to the UP CM Yogi Adityanath's remarks of "Batenge to Katenge", BJP leader Siddharth Nath Singh on Tuesday said that his statement is true. Saying that we need to remain vigilant, he further claimed that leaders like Rahul Gandhi and Akhilesh Yadav are trying to divide the nation on the basis of caste, language and region.
Speaking to ANI, on UP CM Yogi Adityanath's remarks, BJP leader Siddharth Nath Singh said, "Out of 5 resolutions that our PM has, one is to - remain vigilant from those who try to divide people based on caste, language and region. The CM has said 'batoge to katoge', and he has given the example of Bangladesh. It's true, as it is evident from what happened in 1947. Even today, Rahul Gandhi and Akhilesh Yadav, the way they are trying to divide Hindus based on caste is a dangerous turn." "Not only this, Rahul Gandhi also says there should be a caste census but when he goes to Jammu and Kashmir, he ties up with the National Conference and advocates for revoking Article 370 and under this article, OBCs, Dalits, Pahadi and the Gujjar community don't get any resolution. On one side he is promising something in Jammu and Kashmir and on the other side he is talking about something else, it is a step to divide the country. That's why we need to remain vigilant from those who try to divide people based on caste, language and region and that's what CM Yogi said," Singh said. Singh further asserted that the BJP government in both centre and state is capable of maintaining unity and integrity of the country "Whether it is our Prime Minister or our government, in the state and centre, we are capable of handling the unity and integrity of the country, but it is also our duty to remain vigilant on the people who want to divide the country whether it is Akhilesh Yadav or Rahul Gandhi or any parties in different regions of the country," said Singh. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said on August 26 that the "nation will be empowered only when we stay united" while warning, "if we are divided, we will be destroyed." His comments came in the aftermath of the political crisis in the neighbouring country Bangladesh where Sheikh Hasina, the former Prime Minister, was forced to flee the country following weeks of deadly protests. The remarks were made at a rally in Agra on August 26 after unveiling the statue of Rashtraveer Durgadas Rathore. "Nothing can be above the nation. And the nation will be empowered only when we are united. 'Batenge to Katenge'. You are seeing what is happening in Bangladesh. Those mistakes should not be repeated here... 'Batenge to Katenge, Ek Rahenge to Nek Rahenge'...," CM Yogi said while addressing a gathering. (ANI)
