Sachin Malik Lucknow: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath Strongly criticised the Congress and all opposition Parties. Speaking to Journalists at his official residence on Sunday, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that these Parties have been Part of every conspiracy to undermine India constitutional institutions and weaken democratic values for Political Interests.
The CM Said that the conduct and Statements of the country Principal opposition Party and other Parties associated with the UPA alliance are irresponsible and detrimental to democratic values. He said that they have spread confusion regarding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of Electoral rolls. SIR is not being conducted for the first time. It has been carried out several times in the country earlier, including in 1952, 1957, 1961, 1965–66 and 2003.
Congress and Opposition Parties Outcry Over SIR Unfortunate
The Chief Minister said that the uproar created by the Congress, Samajwadi Party (SP), Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and other Parties over the current SIR exercise is extremely unfortunate. He said that the Congress, Which ruled the country for the longest Period, is continuously Questioning the Election Commission.
Taking a Jibe at the opposition Parties, he Said that if Parties such as the SP, Congress and RJD win Elections, they consider it a result of their own Strength, but if People Reject them due to corruption, financial Misconduct, wrong Policies and anarchic actions, they blame the Election Commission and EVM. These Parties, he said, Should reflect and introspect over their immature Statements.
Rahul Gandhi Had Questioned the Impartiality of Judiciary at Cambridge
The Chief Minister said that these Parties continuously Put every constitutional institution under scrutiny. He said they have repeatedly attacked the Election Commission. Congress leader and Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi had questioned the impartiality of India Judiciary at Cambridge, he said.
The Chief Minister further said that When the CAG made observations on the Rafale issue in 2019, the Congress also raised Questions over it. He said that Congress Governments were formed at the Centre and in several States through Elections conducted using EVM, Yet Questioning India Electoral system and the world’s largest democracy by calling EVM A “black box” is Unfortunate.
Congress Has No Faith in Constitutional and Democratic Values
The Chief Minister alleged that the Congress has no faith in constitutional and democratic values. He said that on June 25, 1975, when the Congress committed the “Sin of Strangling the Constitution,” Governments led by the Party also acted unethically to bring down several democratically Elected Governments of opposition Parties.
He further alleged that due to its corrupt functioning and financial misconduct, the Congress repeatedly compromised the country internal and external security. He said that Questioning the valour and courage of India armed forces during the Balakot air Strike and Operation Sindoor cannot be considered Patriotism. According to him, the Congress and its allied Parties are currently Engaging in Similar irresponsible Actions.
Congress Should Control Its Irresponsible Conduct
The Chief Minister said that instructions had already been issued regarding SIR, making it Clear that voters Whose names had been left out would have full opportunity to fill out the required forms.
He said that the Supreme Court had upheld the Election Commission action concerning Form 6. Despite this, he said, the Congress and its allied Parties are attempting to defame India by repeatedly Questioning the Election Commission, the Chief Election Commissioner and other constitutional institutions, thereby weakening the world largest Democracy.
The Congress, he said, Should control its irresponsible conduct. There is no Place for violence, vandalism or disinformation in a Democracy.
Congress and Its Allies Should Apologise to the People
The CM said that all three Election Commissioners had clarified before the media the functioning of the Election Commission and the issues concerning voters who had been left out and Form 6. He said that there Should now be no Questions on the matter, but the continued attempt by the Congress, SP and their allies to unnecessarily scrutinise every minor detail is Unfortunate.
He alleged that there is a conspiracy to weaken democratic values and constitutional institutions. He said that India has, from the very beginning, Provided every adult citizen the freedom to vote without discrimination on the basis of caste, region, language or Gender, as well as the right to have their name added to the Electoral roll until the day before Polling.
Questioning a completely transparent Process, he said, amounts to weakening democratic values. The Congress and its allied Parties Should apologise to the General public and the Country constitutional institutions for their Actions.
