Congress does not care for people's sentiments: CM Yogi Adityanath in poll-bound Himachal Pradesh
Synopsis
Yogi Adityanath is seen making a pitch for the return of BJP rule in the state and said the party's double engine government had ensured all round development for the country.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday (November 7) said that the Congress could not have taken steps such as construction of the Ram temple, the surgical strike or the abrogation of Article 370 because it does not care for the country's security or the sentiments of people.
Campaigning for the BJP in Himachal Pradesh's Una district, CM Adityanath said India is touching new heights under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the country's prestige has risen on the global stage.

Addressing the rally, CM Adityanath said that the BJP government at the Centre has taken landmark steps such as the surgical strike across the line of control in Kashmir and the abrogation of Article 370.
"Has the Congress ever taken such landmark steps? No it cannot. Congress is a party of a family, it does not care for the country's security and the sentiments of its people. And then what's the point in voting for such a party?" Adityanath asked the gathering.
He also alleged that the Congress has backed all kinds of mafias such as "drug mafia, land mafia, mining mafia". Many other such mafias, he added, flourished under its rule.
