New Delhi, Feb 2: Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath who launched his campaign for the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections on Saturday, slammed Arvind Kejriwal government for 'supplying biryani' to protestors opposing CAA at Shaheen Bagh.
In one of his four rallies in Delhi, Adityanath said that after Narendra Modi became Prime Minister, terrorists are being fed with ‘goli’ (bullet) and not biryani.
He ridiculed Kejriwal for 'failing' to give people basic facilities such as clean water. Adityanath addressed rallies at Delhi’s Karawal Nagar, Adarsh Nagar, Narela and Rohini. The speeches revolved around biryani, bullets and Pakistan.
In another speech, he said that after special status to Kashmir was scarpped, the damages to public property in Kashmir by stone pelters funded by Pakistan stopped. He accused Aam Aadmi Party and Congress for supporting those who created unrest in Kashmir.
“Similarly, Pakistan terrorists are being sent to hell by our soldiers. Congress and Kejriwal used to feed them biryani, but we feed them bullets," he said at another rally in the city.
"Their ancestors divided India, so they have a grouse against our emerging Ek Bharat Shresht Bharat," news agency PTI quoted Yogi Adityanath as saying.
According to an Indian Express report, the Uttar Pradesh chief minister also referred to the grand arrangements his government made for the annual Kanwar Yatra pilgrims. He said officials had warned about chaos and riots. "We do not obstruct anyone's festival or faith. Let everyone celebrate festivals within the framework of the law. Lekin Shiv bhakto par goli chalayega koi vyakti, danga karayega, boli se nahi manega toh goli se toh maan hi jayega (If anyone opens fire at devotees of Lord Shiva, causes riots...If they don't listen to talks, they will surely listen to bullets), Adityanath said.
Meanwhile, when a crowd at the Narela rally chanted, ‘desh ke gaddaron ko goli maro s****n ko’ (shoot the betrayers of the nation), Adityanath said ballot, and not bullet, is the biggest power in a democracy.
