Rahul should focus more on politics of development: Yogi Adityanath


Gorakhpur (UP), Jan 15 (PTI): As Rahul Gandhi arrived in UP on his first visit to the state after becoming the Congress president, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath today advised him to shun "negative politics" and instead focus on development.

The Congress leader arrived in the state on a two-day visit to galvanise party workers for the 2019 Lok Sabha polls and breathe life in the party which saw its worst-ever performance in the 2017 Assembly elections getting only seven seats in the 403-member House.

"The Congress president should give up doing negative politics," Adityanath told reporters here even as Rahul Gandhi arrived in Lucknow en route Raebareli and Amethi - the party bastions.

Asked as to how he viewed his first visit to the state after donning the mantle of party head, the chief minister said, "My advise to Rahul is that he should focus more on politics of development."

Adityanath said that had the Congress laid more emphasis on development, Amethi would not have languished. "See the plight of his Lok Sabha constituency - Amethi - nursed by four generations of Nehru-Gandhi family," the chief minister told reporters on the sidelines of an event at Gorakhnath temple, of which he is the head priest, on the occasion of Makarsankranti.

Adityanath also attacked former chief minister Akhilesh Yadav, saying he should ask his supporters to behave.

"They (SP workers) killed innocent villagers in Azamgarh with spurious liquor and were also caught in Hardoi for making spurious liquor. They tried to disturb the environment in Lucknow which is not good," he charged.

In Lucknow, two persons, including a Samajwadi Party worker, were arrested last week for allegedly hurling potatoes near the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly and some other places in the VVIP zone to highlight the plight of farmers.

    If he Yogi had focused on politics of development in UP other then cow . hindu muslim, taj mahal , aurangazeb, babur issues then UP would have been atleast 40% developed by now. where the cow and the relegious issue drove back UP 50 years behind after Yogi.

    Yogi is bad omen for modi and BJP, till the last Gujarat election BJP used to win more than 120 seats, this election yogi started campaigning in gujrat BJP got only 99 seats, and the same will happen in Karnataka. panvati admi CM bhante hi 100 bachelor duniya chod ke ke gaya

    CM Yogi is preaching sermons to the sky while in his own constituency childrens in the government run hospital die in thousands without basic health care service like Oxygen and abandoned aged ' Gau Mata' is wondering grazing standing crop of farmers.

    But with the Karnataka campaign increasingly turning to religious identity like the campaign in Gujarat a few months ago, it remains to be seen if Adityanath’s usefulness as a Hindutva mascot can outweigh his liability as the head of an extremely backward state.

    See, Gujarat was best bet for Rahul to strike it big. For 22 years is a big anti incumbency that was there. Unfortunately, his focus was behind temple runs, plotting soft hindutva & caste division thru the three local guys.

    Recollect that the two UP ke ladke campaign he ran with Akhilesh, unfortunately today SP does not want coalition with Congress in UP. There are reasons to be frustrated

    Once again interference. Yogiji, please concentrate on your duties. Stop hatred and fight among people.

    Let Rahul manage himself. He does not need anyone"s advise. Atleast once walk on the street of your state without any security and meet the people living on the roadside and huts. Listen to them and take care of them.

    Give them a surprise visit Yogiji. One more thing. We Indians are brothers and sisters without any reference to caste and creed.But today there is so much of hatredness, change this and make our country as one family. Do something good and let not only your state but whole India will remember you and pray for you.

    Yogi is an apology for a politician. He preaches anything but Devlopment and lacks total Integrity as a Politician and a religeous leader. Indulges in a lot of Jhumla Politics. He has put UP in reverse gear.

    Dear Dinesh, i think you share the same kurta/pajama of Yogi. This Yogi is busy only in planning how to curb minorities and how to take away their rights. He forgot that there is end for everything and Yogi will also end one day. Yogi will be remembered only if he does good things, otherwise he will be discarded by every one. I dont think Yogi has done any favor to minorities. He is rounding in same circle and not coming out of it. He thinks only of cows, hindutwa, cow urine,

    Yogiji , just by wearing saffron clothes it does not mean you are a true or good Hindu. First properly manage your Gorakhpur hospital where so many children died due to your administration's negligience and useless management and corruption.
    Don't interfere in Karnataka elections. Kannadigas don't need advice from any person making uncultured comments. What do you know about development ? See your state UP going worse day by day.
