Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday launched a scathing attack on Congress leader and Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and called him a “namuna", alleging that he deliberately keeps the Ayodhya controversy alive.

In an interview with news agency ANI, Adityanath criticised Rahul Gandhi’s nation-wide march and called it a “Bharat Todo Abhiyan". He further alleged that the Congress leader was working against India’s interests and raised questions on the work done by the Congress party in the last ten decades.

Questioning Congress’ governance over the past few years, the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister said, “Ek Bharat ko Shresht Bharat nahi hona chahiye? You should ask them (Congress), then, what were they doing for six to ten decades? He should have asked his grandfather, grandmother and father. Why didn’t they do it at that time?"

Further highlighting that today the entire India is getting support from PM Modi, Adityanth pointed towards initiatives such as the construction of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, abolition of triple talaq, and promotion of the Kumbh Mela.

“They always wanted to let the Ayodhya controversy remain a controversy. In Kashi’s Sankri Gali, they have been doing politics all their life in the name of Gandhi ji. But in 1916, Gandhi made strong remarks on Kashi’s Sankri Gali. Why did they not fulfil the dream of Mahatma Gandhi? His dream was fulfilled by PM Modi," Aditynath said.

“Why did the Congress not abolish the three-talaq? Why did the Congress not promote the Kumbh with so much pride and divinity? Why did Congress fail to provide the world-class model of infrastructure in the country? And in Ayodhya, the construction of the

Ram Mandir has also been done. Everyone is getting a glimpse of a new Ayodhya," CM

Adityanath added.

The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister further dubbed Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ as ‘Bharat Todo Abhiyan’ and said that everyone was aware of his intentions.

“The Bharat Jodo Yatra is part of Bharat Todo Abhiyan. He criticises India outside India. The country has understood his nature and intentions. In India’s politics, Bharatiya Janata Party ke liye Rahul jaise kuch namune rehne chahiye jisse ek rasta hamesha ke liye saaf hota rahe aur acha rahe," he added.
