Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday launched a scathing attack on the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) for raising questions over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter lists in Bihar, saying the grand alliance wants infiltrators to vote in the upcoming assembly elections so that the rights of the people of the state can be snatched away. Adityanath was speaking at an election rally in Danapur in support of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate Ramkripal Yadav. This was Adityanath’s first election rally in Bihar.

Adityanath said that the RJD, Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) alliance is now doing politics on ‘burqa’. Should they (infiltrators) be allowed to vote in Bihar? Should they be allowed to snatch away the rights of the people of Bihar? He further said that RJD and Congress are against transparency in elections. In his address, the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister also praised the current Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and said that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government has rejuvenated the state. He said that the double engine government is continuously working for the development of the state and now no one can stop the development in Bihar.
Yogi said who does not know about Jungle Raj and dynastic politics of Bihar from 1990 to 2005. You must have seen who were those people who turned the land of spiritual knowledge of Bihar into a land of dynastic politics and crime, creating an identity crisis for our youth. How anarchy was spread here in the name of development is not hidden from anyone… Therefore, in the last 20 years, the NDA government has worked effectively to free Bihar from that stigma. Today, the double engine government in Bihar has come again to call for taking it forward more effectively.

Adityanath also talked about the relationship between Uttar Pradesh and Bihar and called it a common heritage. He said that the relationship between Uttar Pradesh and Bihar is “a bond of one soul, a bond of one culture and a bond of one resolve”. The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister appealed to the people to vote for the ruling NDA in Bihar, saying, “This relationship is as unbreakable as the bond of Lord Ram and Mata Janaki.” Assembly elections in Bihar are to be held in two phases – on November 6 and 11. Whereas, counting of votes will take place on November 14.
