Dhanbad (Jharkhand) [India], November 14 (HBTV): Amid the ongoing assembly elections in Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday accused the ruling parties in the state, including Congress, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), and Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), of looting and misleading the people. He alleged that they were promoting leftist ideologies to turn Jharkhand into a hub of Naxal activity.

'Jharkhand witnessed the first phase of voting for the assembly elections, and the trends indicate that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will form the government with an absolute majority. Jharkhand has decided to oust Congress, JMM, and RJD from power. When Jharkhand was being developed, I was an MP from Gorakhpur. They (Congress and RJD) were opposing the creation of Jharkhand, and now they, along with JMM, are trying to mislead the people,' said Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath while addressing a gathering in Dhanbad.

'On one hand, they are looting Jharkhand. On the other hand, this corrupt government is trying to promote leftists to turn Jharkhand into a den of Naxals. I have come to appeal to you all to not let them flourish,' Yogi added.

Chief Minister Adityanath further stated that today's India does not believe in provoking others but will not spare anyone who provokes it. He claimed that there have been no riots or curfews in Uttar Pradesh since the BJP-led government came to power.

'This is new India. There is an environment of safety in the nation. Whether it is Congress, RJD, or JMM, all of them are here to loot you. They are allowing Bangladeshis and Rohingyas into Jharkhand, leading to issues like land and love jihad. We have to stop this infiltration. You might have seen what happened in Uttar Pradesh before our government was formed in 2017. After the double-engine government came to power, there have been no riots or curfews in Uttar Pradesh,' CM Adityanath said while addressing the gathering in the Nirsa assembly constituency.
