Key themes from Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s campaign speech: “Mamata Banerjee has imposed restrictions in the name of Ram. Idol immersion cannot take place, and religious processions are not allowed. In Bengal, she bans Durga Puja, but allows iftaar parties on the streets. Nine years ago, the same situation existed in Uttar Pradesh, with namaz (prayers) offered on roads and iftar gatherings taking place. Today, under a double engine government guided by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, there is no curfew and no riots, everything is stable. There are no iftar gatherings or namaz (prayers) on roads, and even the sound of azaan is not heard outside mosques. In Bengal, Mamata Banerjee reacts negatively to the name of Ram, whereas in Uttar Pradesh, after ending 500 years of subjugation and weakening ‘vidharmi’ forces, a grand Ram temple has been constructed in Ayodhya. In Uttar Pradesh, cow slaughter cannot take place, and incidents of ‘land jihad’ and ‘love jihad’ cannot happen either. If any mafia or goon dares to commit such an act anywhere, the UP bulldozer does not just build roads, it crushes their bones and ribs along with the road itself.”
