In a scathing attack on the Samajwadi Party on Wednesday, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that the party had become a gang of those committing atrocities against women. He also remarked that the Congress and the SP are like the Bhasmasur, as they harm the very people who grant them power. Chief Minister Yogi made these remarks while addressing a gathering at a mega Rozgar Mela held at Ramlila grounds at Ghantaghar in Ghaziabad. During the event, he distributed appointment letters to over 10,000 youth, loans exceeding Rs 327 crore to 632 beneficiaries, and tablets/smartphones to more than 6,000 young individuals. Chief Minister Yogi pointed out that all the individuals recently apprehended for endangering the safety of the daughters had links to the SP. Reflecting on their values, Yogi said, SP leaders are labeling Indias religious leaders and cultural icons as mafia, suggesting that the soul of Aurangzeb has taken hold of them. He further added that Congress and SP have become like Bhasmasur – whenever entrusted with power, they misused it to undermine the peoples faith. The chief minister emphasised that the ongoing Rozgar Melas in the state are elevating Prime Minister Narendra Modis Mission Employment to new heights. He also reminded the gathering that the people of Uttar Pradesh still recall the misdeeds of the pre-2017 governments.  Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said, The mafia and rioters were a primary source of income for the opposition. He remarked that when someones income stream is threatened, their leaders lose composure and resort to irrational outbursts. Today, these political patrons are distressed by the disappearance of the mafia and rioters, he added. He further commented that SP and Congress aim to incite class conflict under the guise of caste, giving rioters the freedom to loot. However, the double-engine government is committed to dismantling this model of the Samajwadi Party, he added. Chief Minister Yogi emphasised that the next three years are crucial, as Uttar Pradesh must become the nations top economy within this timeframe. Reflecting on past governance, Chief Minister Yogi said, Before 2014, the Congress-led Central government enacted laws to suppress Hindus, sought to dismantle the Ram Setu, obstructed the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya, and promoted terrorism in Kashmir. Congress undermined the nations security. Similarly, before 2017, SP followed in Congress footsteps in Uttar Pradesh, fostering lawlessness and chaos. Riots were frequent, and SP leaders were seen submitting to dangerous criminals, forest mafias, animal mafias, and land mafias, he added. Chief Minister Yogi also emphasised how previous governments exploited the states youth, resulting in widespread suffering, with farmers pushed to the brink of suicide and traders compelled to flee the state. Due to the Samajwadi Partys actions, Hindu traders were displaced from Kairana and Kandhla, and the safety of daughters was compromised, he added. In contrast, in the new Uttar Pradesh of a new India, daughters are now safe, traders are respected, youth have access to employment, and farmers are moving forward with dignity, the chief minister pointed out. Chief Minister Yogi affirmed that if anyone dares to jeopardise the future of the youth, the government will take action against them, impounding their properties and distributing it among the poor. He assured that any obstacles to the dreams of the youth will be removed. Chief Minister Yogi highlighted that under Prime Minister Modis leadership, India is on the path to becoming the worlds third-largest economy. He noted that the double-engine government in Uttar Pradesh has provided government jobs to more than 6.5 lakh youth over the past seven and a half years. For the first time in Uttar Pradeshs history, investment proposals exceeding Rs 40 lakh crore have been received, which are expected to create employment opportunities for around 1.5 crore youth in the state, he added. He said, Under the Chief Minister Yuva Udyami Yojana, the government will offer interest-free loans of Rs 5 lakh in the first phase and Rs 10 lakh in the second phase to 10 lakh youth over the coming years. Targeting the opposition in a poetic way, Yogi stated, Nazar nahin hain, nazaron ki baat karte hain, Jamin pe chand-sitaron ki baat karte hain. Wo haath jodkar lootne wale, bhari sabha mein sudharon ki baat karte hain (They talk of visions without sight, speak of moon and stars while standing on the ground. Those who looted the people with folded hands now speak of reforms in full gatherings). He further remarked that Congress and SP have only exploited Uttar Pradesh. Now, a pair of boys has emerged, trying to mislead the state, but their benefits have never extended beyond their own families, he said. Reflecting on Ghaziabads transformation, Chief Minister Yogi said that seven and a half years ago, the city was plagued by chaos, heaps of garbage, anarchy, and mafia running a parallel government that extorted goonda tax nut today, under the double-engine government, Ghaziabad has evolved into a smart city. It now boasts a 12-lane highway, the countrys first rapid rail system, and a metro. Soon, a satellite centre of AIIMS Delhi will also be operational here. Ghaziabad is emerging as a hub of potential in Uttar Pradesh, offering investment, employment and modern infrastructure. Even the iconic Dudheshwar Mahadev has been beautified as part of this transformation, he asserted. In the programme, along with Chief Minister Yogi, Minister of Electronics and Information Technology Sunil Kumar Sharma, Minister of State for Vocational Education (Independent Charge) Kapil Dev Agarwal, Minister of State for Public Works Department Brijesh Singh, MP Atul Garg, former Union minister General (Retired) VK Singh, district panchayat chairperson Mamta Tyagi, Mayor Sunita Dayal and other dignitaries were present.
