Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has claimed while addressing a rally in Bijhari, Hamirpur, Himachal Pradesh, that the soul of Aurangzeb's path has possessed the Congress and its leaders, who have been in a state of mourning since January 22, 2024, when Pran Pratishtha ceremony of Lord Ram happened in Ayodhya.

The CM further said, "Congress' manifesto is the document of the Muslim League. They want to impose the Sharia law in the country and implement the Taliban system. If this happens, girls won't be able to go to school and women will be forced to stay indoors wearing burqas." On the occasion, he urged the audience of the rally to vote for the BJP candidate from the Hamirpur Lok Sabha seat Anurag Thakur for Hamirpur Lok Sabha seat and Indradutt Lakhanpal for the Barsar assembly by-election.

In addition, he charged that the opposition parties were attempting to enact an inheritance tax that was akin to the Jizya tax. He emphasized that the country will be governed by the Constitution of Dr. Ambedkar. According to ANI, Yogi Adityanath declared that anybody who want to follow the Mughal ruler Aurangzeb's path will be "permanently dealt" by his bulldozer.

Controversy on Aurangzeb's Path:

The CM of Uttar Pradesh stated that since the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya, the Congress party leaders have been in sorrow. He remarked that the leaders of the party thought the temple served no use. "Lord Ram is now seated in his divine temple in Ayodhya. While the entire world and every follower of Sanatan Dharma was overjoyed, Congress was in mourning. Congress declined the invitation to Ayodhya. Even now, their leaders say that the Ram temple should not have been built, and their allies dismiss the Ram temple as useless," he added.

As the Chief Minister paid respects to the sacred sites of Mata Chintpurni and Mata Naina Devi, he declared that Himachal Pradesh is a land of heroes and gods. He said that everyone in the state is endowed with good health and a feeling of spirituality because of the state's connection to nature and the divine. He said that "Abki Baar 400 Paar" and "Fir Ek Baar, Modi Sarkar" are being spoken by a united voice throughout the nation.

"India's respect has increased globally, and terrorism and Maoism have been eradicated. Now, Pakistan offers clarification even when a firecracker goes off. Significant development projects have been implemented. In Himachal, AIIMS and IIIT have been established," he said.

He said that the nation is seeing the birth of a new India under PM Modi's leadership. According to Yogi Adityanath, terrorism and Naxalism have been eliminated under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's direction, and India has gained more respect around the world. He stated the INDIA group headed by the Congress party is a front. "If they are unable to come together, how will they unite the country?", he quipped.

He said that the opposition's plan to tax inheritance on ancestral property and examine everyone's possessions would essentially grab half of the property and give it to spies from Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. He compared Aurangzeb's jizya levy to Congress's inheritance tax.

The Chief Minister backed Anurag Thakur, calling him one of PM Modi's nine jewels and the man whose leadership was bringing home the most medals from major international athletic competitions. He said that this son of Himachal' is fighting for all of India, not just Himachal.

"Congress says that if they come to power, they will give the rights of backward castes to Muslims. The UPA government formed Justice Ranganath Mishra and Sachar Committee to give OBC reservations to Muslims. We opposed this back then. Rahul Gandhi is talking about eradicating poverty in one stroke. His grandmother gave the slogan 'Garibi Hatao' in 1970, and now, 54 years later, her grandson is giving the same slogan," Yogi Adityanath added.

Mr. Thakur stated that conversations concerning the chilly climate in Himachal Pradesh are common in Uttar Pradesh. "Under CM Yogi's leadership, the atmosphere of UP has turned chilly for rioters and mafia. They have caught Himachal's cold. The bulldozer of Yogi is running vigorously against the rioters and mafia in Uttar Pradesh. CM Yogi has turned Uttar Pradesh into the Ganga of development, providing concrete houses to the poor by evicting them from slums", he stated.

The Lok Sabha elections are scheduled to end on June 1. Voter tallying is scheduled at June 4th.
