UP elections: CM Yogi mocks SP, says Oppn will join ‘Kar Sewaks in Ayodhya’ after defeat

Taking an indirect dig at Samajwadi Party yet again ahead of the phase 5 Uttar Pradesh Assembly Elections, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday said that ‘those who fired at kar sewaks will begin their journey to Ayodhya after polls’. Speaking from Sultanpur, the Chief Minister also said that those who used to roam around with pistols in the state now carry ‘Bajrang Bali’s mace’. CM Yogi also showered confidence in Bharatiya Janta Party’s (BJP) win in the UP elections with a special focus on strengthening the law and order situation in the state.

“The same people who had ordered the shooting at Ram devotees (Kar Sewaks) in Ayodhya are now roaming around with Bajrang Bali’s mace. After the defeat of the Opposition in the elections, then next time, they will join the Kar Sewaks in Ayodhya,” said Adityanath in a veiled reference to the Samajwadi Party. The Kar Sewaks were allegedly fired at during the Ram Janmabhoomi movement which had led to the demolition of the Babri mosque.
