Uttar Pradesh’s Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, known for his passionate speeches, addressed the pressing issue of drug trafficking during a rally in Shahabad today, drawing a striking parallel between drug dealers and the mythological demon Mahishasura. He passionately called on voters to ensure that these ‘demons’ do not regain their foothold in Haryana. While supporting BJP candidate Subhash Kalsana, Adityanath emphasized the age-old battle of good versus evil found in Hindu stories, likening the fight against the drug trade to this epic struggle. He stated, “Those who peddle drugs and threaten the future of our youth are akin to Mahishasura. Our double-engine government acts as the protective force of Goddess Bhagwati against these malevolent forces,” underscoring the urgency of preventing these criminal elements from rising again. Furthermore, he took the opportunity to highlight the accomplishments of the BJP in Uttar Pradesh, attributing the significant progress in Ayodhya and the construction of the Ram Temple to the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, proudly noting that the BJP government has fulfilled a 500-year-long aspiration.
