CM Yogi Torches SP in Bareilly, Declares UP Mafia-Free and No Longer 'BIMARU'
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath launched a scathing attack on the Samajwadi Party (SP) while addressing a massive public gathering at the Bareilly Club on Tuesday, October 13, 2026. Commencing his speech with the thunderous chant of "Har Har Mahadev," the Chief Minister delivered an uncompromising message to anti-social elements, warning that anyone attempting to incite communal riots in Uttar Pradesh would face severe retribution, including the confiscation of their personal and ancestral properties. Highlighting his government's administrative track record across education, employment, and public safety, Adityanath declared that the state has decisively shed its historical "BIMARU" stigma to emerge as a powerhouse of law, order, and rapid development.
Uncompromising Stance on Law and Order: Confiscation Warning and the Rise of 'Nath Nagari'
Addressing the dramatic shift in Uttar Pradesh’s internal security landscape, the Chief Minister underscored the total suppression of organized crime networks:
-
Direct Warning on Communal Riots: The Chief Minister issued a zero-tolerance warning, emphasizing that those attempting to orchestrate communal violence in Uttar Pradesh will see their assets, along with those of their ancestors, seized by the state administration.
-
Ending the Identity Crisis: Adityanath recalled that prior to 2017, the people of Uttar Pradesh faced an identity crisis and disrespect across other states due to perpetual unrest; today, criminals and mafia syndicates remain behind bars or in fear of the law, citing strict policing models like Sambhal where police presence deters gang networks.
-
Bareilly Reimagined as Nath Nagari: Highlighting cultural and infrastructural revival, he observed that Bareilly is no longer recognized merely by folklore like "Jhumka," but has earned a dignified, grand spiritual and economic identity as the sacred "Nath Nagari."
Educational Renaissance: Transparent Recruitment, Kayakalp Abhiyan, and Cashless Insurance
Outlining the state's educational transformation, the Chief Minister paid tribute to the teaching fraternity while announcing groundbreaking welfare schemes:
-
Revering Teachers as Nation Builders: Referencing Maharishi Vyas and the sacred tradition of Guru Purnima, Adityanath stated that teachers are not mere government employees but era creators capable of shaping leaders like Shri Ram and Chandragupta.
-
Modernization via Kayakalp and Alankar Schemes: The state’s basic and secondary schooling infrastructure has been overhauled through the "Kayakalp Abhiyan" and "Alankar Yojana," eliminating widespread exam copying and restoring nationwide trust in UP board examinees.
-
Bullet-Train Speed in Board Exams: Eliminating delays where state board examinations and result declarations previously dragged on for half a year, the double-engine administration now processes statewide assessments rapidly without disruptions.
-
Pioneering Health Schemes: Uttar Pradesh has become the first state in the nation to extend cashless medical treatment and insurance coverage to its teaching personnel, while active plans are underway to offer comparable benefits to CBSE-affiliated educators alongside establishing universities and medical colleges across every administrative division and district.
Scathing Attack on SP Governance: Exposing Mafia Ties, Recruitment Scams, and Historical Gaffes
Turning his speech toward the opposition, CM Yogi drew sharp contrasts between his administration and past Samajwadi Party rule:
-
Patronage of Criminal Elements: The Chief Minister accused the Samajwadi Party regime of prioritizing mafia figures over student welfare, pointing out that criminals were once granted formal hospitality inside the Chief Minister's official residence.
-
Over 9.5 Lakh Transparent Jobs: Contrasting past recruitment scams and corrupt selection boards, Adityanath stated that his government has provided merit-based, completely transparent employment to more than 9.5 lakh youth across the state without nepotism.
-
Bismil vs Bismillah Khan Controversy: Taking a sharp dig at the intellectual caliber of past SP administrations, he recounted an incident where an SP education minister confused Kakori martyr Pandit Ram Prasad 'Bismil' with shehnai maestro Ustad Bismillah Khan from a public platform, dismissing corrections with arrogance.
-
Shedding the 'BIMARU' Tag: Concluding his address, the Chief Minister emphasized that Uttar Pradesh has finally stepped out of the backward 'BIMARU' category to become a vibrant, investor-friendly, and mafia-free state, leaving criminal patrons politically isolated.
