Yogi Adityanath accuses Congress, SP of spreading propaganda against Ayodhya

Gorakhpur: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday accused the Samajwadi Party (SP) and the Congress of "spreading propaganda" against Ayodhya, claiming that the ongoing journey of heritage preservation and development in the state would eventually threaten the political existence of the two opposition parties.

Addressing a Diwali programme for the Van Tangiya community at Jungle Tinkonia in Gorakhpur, Adityanath said the opposition parties were uncomfortable with the development of Ayodhya and the infrastructure projects being undertaken in the state.

"People are now maligning Ayodhya out of fear. They are spreading propaganda against Ayodhya because they know that if this journey of heritage and development continues in the same manner, the politics of the Samajwadi Party and the Congress will be buried forever," he said.


"Those who once created an identity crisis for the state will now face a crisis of their own political identity. If this journey continues with the same strength and unity, the Congress and the Samajwadi Party will themselves face an identity crisis," he added.
