Faridabad, Haryana - Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday attributed a "Ram Ram" greeting from a Muslim cleric in Jammu to the impact of Article 370 abrogation, highlighting the BJP's efforts in promoting national unity. Addressing an election rally in Faridabad, Adityanath recounted his recent visit to Jammu and Kashmir for campaign purposes, during which he encountered a cleric who surprised him by greeting him with the Hindu salutation.
"It was raining in Jammu, and I went inside the airport… as I went in, I heard a man say ‘Sahab Ram Ram’…the person again repeated ‘Yogi Sahab Ram Ram’ which caught my attention. I found out he was a Maulvi. I was surprised to hear Ram Ram from a Maulvi," Adityanath told the crowd. He went on to claim that this incident reflected the positive impact of the abrogation of Article 370, arguing that those who previously challenged India's sovereignty are now embracing Hindu customs.
Furthermore, Adityanath used this anecdote to launch a scathing attack on the Congress party, branding them as the root of all India's problems. He attributed the delay in building the Ram temple in Ayodhya to the Congress, claiming they deliberately fostered disputes. He praised the BJP's success in addressing the decades-long issue, stating that the party represents the solution to India's challenges, including terrorism, corruption, and Naxalism.
Adityanath also highlighted the BJP's achievements in Uttar Pradesh, touting improved law and order and development projects. He argued that the Congress, INLD, and AAP oppose development, as it would expose their divisive politics and ultimately lead to their downfall. He concluded by urging the people of Haryana to vote for the BJP, assuring them of continued development under Modi's leadership. Haryana is set to go to polls on October 5, with results expected on October 8.
