Negative forces were attempting to divide society and even great personalities along caste lines, chief minister Yogi Adityanath said in Meerut on Monday.
He also said the responsibility for preventing social division rested substantially with the BJP’s Shakti Kendra heads.
They will try to divide society in the name of caste and commit the sin of dividing great personalities along caste lines. We must not allow this division to happen. “Great personalities cannot be confined within the boundaries of caste. India has overcome its identity crisis, and taking pride in its cultural heritage.
The chief minister said the 12-lane Delhi-Meerut Expressway and Namo Bharat train were operating successfully and listed the film city, medical devices park and semiconductor unit among projects under development.
Addressing a conference of Shakti Kendra convenors of the BJP’s western Uttar Pradesh region in the presence of the party’s national president Nitin Nabin in Meerut, Adityanath said, “Negative forces will once again try to divide society. The BJP government, he said, had made it clear that the pilgrimage would not be stopped and would continue with grandeur. He said he personally participated in the Kanwar Yatra and showered flowers on devotees. “No one can now stop Krishna Janmashtami or insult Meerut, the land of the revolution,” he said. Yogi also said the SP was opposed to Sanatan and claimed that the party was as irritated by the chanting of Lord Ram’s name as Babur was. He also referred to revolutionary Durga Bhabhi as an inspiration for everyone and said the state government had built a grand memorial to Kotwal Dhan Singh Gurjar in Meerut.
