Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Tuesday said on UP CM Yogi Adityanath's statement, 'Jab bhi bante hai, cruelty se kate hai', these are the people who are creating division. Khadge said, this is the agenda of BJP-RSS, until you break their agenda, they will continue to exploit you.
Yogi said at an election rally in Jharkhand's Koderma, 'The history of the country is a testimony that whenever it has been partitioned, it has been brutally cut.' In fact, Yogi had said in a meeting in Agra on August 26, 'There is nothing bigger than the nation. Nation will be strong only when we are united. We are seeing in Bangladesh that those mistakes should not happen here… If we divide, we will be divided. We will be organized and fair. We will be safe and reach the pinnacle of prosperity.
This statement of Yogi has become an issue in Jharkhand and Maharashtra assembly elections along with the by-elections of 9 assembly seats in Uttar Pradesh. Opposition is attacking BJP and RSS regarding this.
Yogi said in Jharkhand, 'Stay united and be noble'
Yogi held two election meetings in Jharkhand on Tuesday.
- In Kodarama and Barkagaon seats of North Chotanagpur division, CM Yogi said that the opposition should make him realize his strength. There is no division into castes. Some people will divide you in the name of caste, Congress and opposition do the same thing. These people are calling Bangladeshi infiltrators Rohingya. One day these people will not let you even ring the bell and conch inside the house. So stay united and be noble. I say that the history of the country is a witness that every time it has been partitioned it has been brutally cut.
- Just as Aurangzeb plundered the country and destroyed the temples, Alamgir Alam was a minister in the Jharkhand government. Bundles of notes were found in his house. This money belonged to the poor of Jharkhand, which was looted and deposited.
Kharge's answer – This is BJP-RSS agenda
Mallikarjun Kharge held a meeting in Ranchi on Tuesday.
- At the Kanke (Ranchi) election meeting, Mallikarjun Kharge said on Yogi's statement that these are the people who are creating division. This is the agenda of BJP-RSS, until you break their agenda, they will continue to exploit you.
- Kharge targeted PM Narendra Modi and Amit Shah. Khadge asked people how do you vote for a person who tells lies repeatedly? BJP wants to divide your people. PM Modi's speech in Jharkhand is a joke. His home minister had earlier said that he would provide employment to 2 crore youth, but later said that this was an election slogan. These people are habitual liars.
- Earlier he also talked about giving 15 lakh rupees to each. How are you voting for a habitual liar? Khadge said, 'PM Modi is going to steal your Mangalsutra, your cattle. They are taking away your property and giving it to Ambani, Adani. RSS-BJP wants to fight between you. BJP says – Infiltrators are stealing soil, daughter and bread, what were you doing? Were you shelling corn?
Alamgir, whose name Yogi took, received Rs 35.23 crore in cash from his close relatives.
The ED recovered Rs 31.20 crore from the house of Jahangir Alam, the servant of Alamgir Alam, who was the rural development minister in the Hemant government of Jharkhand.
Alamgir Alam whom Yogi refers to was the rural development minister in the Hemant government of Jharkhand. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) raided the premises of Alamgir Alam PS Sanjeev Lal, his domestic worker Jahangir Alam, a builder and two engineers on July 5, 2024. A total of Rs 35.23 crore cash was seized during this period. Bundles of 500-500 rupee notes were kept in a bag in the room of servant Jahangir's flat. After that, three note counting machines were ordered. After three days of counting, a total of Rs 31.20 crore was recovered from here.
Documents related to land and transfer-posting were also recovered from the flat. ED also seized Rs 2.93 crore from the house of builder Munna near Alam. While the remaining amount was found with other people associated with Alam.
The ED action was related to the case of Virendra Ram, former chief engineer of the rural construction department. ED arrested Virendra Ram on February 23 last year in the tender scam. The investigating agency had revealed that Virendra had acquired assets worth around Rs 125 crore through tender commissions.
