UP: Not 'Khatakhat', Be Ready For 'Safachat' In 2027 — Yogi Adityanath's Warning For Samajwadi Party, Congress
UP CM Yogi Adityanath
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday (1 August) accused the Samajwadi Party and Congress of deceiving the people of Uttar Pradesh by making false promises.
Speaking in the Uttar Pradesh assembly, Yogi Adityanath narrated a story of four thugs who defrauded a farmer.
He also said that the Samajwadi Party-Congress combine would be completely wiped out in the 2027 UP assembly elections.
"There were four thugs who decided to deceive a farmer who was taking home a goat. They decided to make the farmer believe that he was holding a dog and not a goat and they did it. The innocent farmer was deceived by the swindler as he believed that one person could lie and not all four. Such was the khatakhat-khatakhat scheme. Where is Rs one lakh bond (promised by the SP-Congress)...I can say with conviction that not khatakhat but in 2027, it will be 'Sapa-chat' (or Safachat meaning clean sweep)," said Yogi Adityanath, Zee News reported.
The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister further asserted that in 2027, the BJP would hold the SP-Congress alliance accountable for their promise of a Rs 1 lakh bond.
Criticising the Samajwadi Party on the reservation issue, Yogi Adityanath stated that the OBC community did not even receive the mandated 27 per cent reservation during the SP's rule.
"During the SP regime, in no government jobs, OBCs were given 27 per cent reservation. During their time, it was pick and choose policy....During that time, the uncle-nephew pair (Akhilesh and Shivpal) went out for extortion during Lekhpal recruitment. But no such thing exists today even we recruited over 5,000 lekhpals," the UP CM said.
Yogi Adityanath said that he entered politics not as a profession but to punish wrongdoers in society.
The UP CM made this statement while responding to the Gomati Nagar incident where some miscreants harassed a woman during waterlogging.
