Minister Narender Kashyap Challenges Akhilesh Yadavs Criticism of Law and Order in Uttar Pradesh

Lucknow, October 31 (Daily Kiran) : Minister Narender Kashyap of Uttar Pradesh has hit back at Akhilesh Yadav, the national president of the Samajwadi Party, regarding his remarks on law and order, the Election Commission, and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Kashyap asserted that Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Union Home Minister Amit Shah do not require advice from the Samajwadi Party. He suggested that party leaders should first evaluate their own five-year tenure in government.

Kashyap also claimed that the BJP will secure a decisive victory in the upcoming 2027 assembly elections. He addressed various issues, including recent allegations of religious conversion at King George’s Medical University (KGMU), comments made by ST Hasan regarding the Ram Janmabhoomi, and an opposition rally scheduled for November 1.

In response to Yadav’s assertion that Amit Shah should review law and order in Uttar Pradesh, Kashyap insisted that the Chief Minister and Home Minister do not need guidance from the Samajwadi Party. However, he advised the party to reflect on the performance of its own administration over the past five years. He accused the previous Samajwadi Party government of allowing riots, fostering a culture of lawlessness, and disrespecting women’s dignity, citing incidents from Muzaffarnagar as examples.

Kashyap dismissed Yadav’s claim that the BJP would be ousted from both the state and the country as mere fantasy. He emphasized that Yadav and his party should better understand the political landscape of Uttar Pradesh. He noted that the Home Minister has confidently stated that the BJP remains in a strong position and will not be dislodged in 2027.

He highlighted that the BJP’s organizational strength is a result of the hard work of its members and the support of the public. Kashyap remarked that whenever the Home Minister assesses political situations, he does so with a clear understanding of the circumstances. He referenced successful outcomes in elections across various states, asserting that the BJP will again win by a large margin in Uttar Pradesh in 2027.

Regarding Yadav’s allegations that the Election Commission favors BJP voters, Kashyap questioned how the Commission could identify which voters belong to which party. He argued that blaming the Election Commission based on political affiliations reflects an unnatural mindset among coalition leaders. He maintained that the BJP considers all voters in the state as its own, and any exclusion by the Samajwadi Party is a reflection of their own perspective.

Kashyap characterized the allegations of religious conversion at KGMU as serious and alarming. He claimed that some individuals in the state have been using various tactics for appeasement and religious conversion. He expressed concern over accusations against doctors, who are supposed to serve the community and provide better healthcare. Following the revelations, action has been taken against those involved.

He assured that under Yogi Adityanath’s leadership, continuing conversion activities in Uttar Pradesh will not be easy. He warned that anyone, including doctors and engineers promoting conversion through appeasement policies, would face legal consequences.

On the statements made by ST Hasan regarding the Ram Janmabhoomi, Kashyap expressed strong disapproval. He stated that Hasan lacks knowledge about Hinduism and Lord Ram, whose birth in Ayodhya is widely recognized. He referred to the Supreme Court’s decision regarding the construction of the Ram temple, highlighting that it clarified the path for the temple’s establishment.

Kashyap pointed out that various religious texts affirm Ayodhya as the birthplace of Lord Ram. He accused the Samajwadi Party of consistently making controversial statements regarding Sanatan Dharma and Lord Ram, and he criticized them for engaging in appeasement politics. He asserted that voters who believe in Sanatan Dharma will respond to the Samajwadi Party in the upcoming elections.

Regarding the opposition rally scheduled for November 1, Kashyap noted that traders in Ghaziabad, Gautam Buddha Nagar, Meerut, and Baghpat are concerned. He claimed that the Congress party and its allies are creating chaos through various activities, potentially harming local businesses.

Kashyap also questioned the parliamentary activities of opposition parties, stating that while Parliament is in session, opposition leaders prefer to protest outside instead of participating. He remarked that the opposition coalition has lost faith in the Constitution and constitutional institutions. He urged the opposition to consider the impact of their political activities on ordinary citizens and businesses.
