Aligarh (UP): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday, equated the Samajwadi Party with the Muslim League, which was established in Aligarh in 1906 and played a significant role in India's partition.
The UP CM claimed the Samajwadi Party is doing the same work as the Muslim League, dividing society on communal lines.
Addressing a public rally in Aligarh, CM Yogi Adityanath said, "The Muslim League which laid the foundation of the partition of India in 1906 was established in Aligarh itself...Aligarh did not let them do so, but their intentions of dividing the society on a communal basis were successful...The same work that the Muslim League was doing at that time is now being done by the Samajwadi Party...their intentions should not be allowed to succeed."
UP CM Yogi's statement is likely to spark controversy, especially given the historical context of the Muslim League's role in India's partition. The Samajwadi Party has not yet responded to his statement, but it is likely to strongly contest the allegation.
CM Yogi launched a scathing attack on the Congress and Samajwadi Party, alleging that under their rule, daughters and businessmen weren't safe. He emphasized that the BJP's double-engine government has ensured development and security, citing the Ayodhya Ram Mandir as a prime example, which took 500 years to become a reality
