Cong entered unholy alliance with Muslim League: Yogi
    (Eds: with fresh points, more quotes)
    Hojai (Assam), Apr 6 (PTI) Uttar Pradesh Chief
Minister Yogi Adityanath Saturday alleged that the Congress
has entered into an "unholy alliance" with the Muslim League
which was evident from the green flags seen at the time Rahul
Gandhi went to file nomination in a procession from Wayanad
Lok Sabha seat in Kerala.
    Gandhi filed his nomination paper from Wayanad which
has a sizable Muslim population, on Thursday.
    A video of Gandhi's procession while going to file
nomination at Wayanad has gone viral. It was recorded from a
spot that showed green flags of the Muslim League fluttering
over the procession.
    "Gandhi ran away from Uttar Pradesh and filed his
nomination from a seat in Kerala. In his procession there was
neither the Indian Tricolour nor the Congress symbol 'hand'
but only the Muslim League's green flag with stars and mooon,"
he claimed while addressing an election rally here.
    "This unholy alliance has exposed the mindset of the
Congress. The Muslim League was responsible for the partition
of the country and the killing of lakhs of people during that
time. Now the Congress has a political alliance with the same
party," the UP chief minister said.
    In Assam too, the Congress has entered into an
understanding with Badruddin Ajmal's AIUDF which is
responsible for myriad problems in the state, he alleged.
    "The Congress has compromised the national security
and your security by entering into both these alliances," he
told the rally.
    The Congress is finding it difficult to find
candidates in the state as it is working with "negative
forces", he said.
    There is, however, no formal alliance between the
Congress and the AIUDF for the general elections.
    The Congress has lost in all the states in the North
East but the party has not learnt the lesson and is repeating
the same mistake again and again, he added.
    The BJP under Prime Minister Narendra Modi has
strengthened the nation, he asserted.
    Following China's incursion into Doklam through
Bhutan, it got a befitting reply and was forced to retreat,
Adityanath said adding that Modi has enhanced the country's
stature in the world by directing attack on terrorist camps
inside Pakistan.
    After the attack, Pakistan went crying to other
countries but the world leaders have replied that India has
done the right thing, the UP chief minister claimed.
    "The USA that had entered Pakistan to finish off Osama
Bin Laden. Israel had entered Palestine. India is the third
country to enter another nation to attack terrorists,"
Adityanath asserted.
    He asserted that India under Modi has emerged as a
global economic power attaining the sixth position from the
earlier 11th place under the UPA regime.
    "There has been no discrimination on the basis of
caste, region, language and religion. All are enjoying the
fruits of development," the senior BJP leaders said.
    The prime minister has ensured development of the
Northeast by directing his ministers to visit the region twice
a month, understand the problems of the people and resolve it
at the earliest, Adityanath said. PTI DG ESB
