'People, Not Revenge, Bring Change': CM Yogi Slams Congress and SP
Launching a scathing offensive against the Congress party and the Samajwadi Party (SP) from his home turf of Gorakhpur on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath asserted that in a true democracy, transformative political change is driven by the will of the people rather than vindictive politics or personal revenge. Addressing a mammoth public gathering ahead of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) flagship 'Save Democracy, Remove Anarchy' (Loktantra Bachao, Arajakta Hatao) padyatra, the Chief Minister remarked that Congress has faced electoral defeat so consistently that even failure itself might ask what excuse the grand old party plans to fabricate next. Emphasizing the broader ideological horizon of the march, Adityanath noted that the BJP's mass mobilization is far more than a routine partisan exercise; rather, it is a unified movement aligned with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision to steer India toward becoming a self-reliant and fully developed nation (Viksit Bharat), a milestone that can only be realized by reinforcing the bedrock of democratic institutions against subversive disruption.
EVM Double Standards and Voter List Purge: Yogi Defends Clean-Up of Infiltrators and Ghost Voters
Sharpening his critique over recent political friction in the national capital, Chief Minister Adityanath condemned the chaos orchestrated by the Congress-led opposition bloc in Delhi, cautioning that deliberate attempts to delegitimize constitutional bodies pose an existential threat to democratic traditions. Taking aim at the opposition's shifting narrative, he pointed out an ingrained hypocrisy: whenever opposition alliances secure electoral victories, they promptly celebrate it as an outcome of tactical brilliance and hard work, but the moment the public rejects them at the ballot box, they reflexively shift blame onto Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs). Adityanath noted that Special Summary Revision (SIR) operations and voter roll updates have been conducted routinely throughout India's post-independence history, predominantly during Congress tenures. He questioned why the opposition is now fomenting nationwide unrest and confusion precisely when the Election Commission of India undertakes specialized institutional drives to purge the electoral rolls of deceased entries and illegitimate names, including undocumented Bangladeshi infiltrators and Pakistani nationals.
Dynastic Legacy and Constitutional History: Pankaj Chaudhary and Dayashankar Singh Target SP and Congress
Echoing the Chief Minister's sentiments from the dais, Uttar Pradesh BJP State President Pankaj Chaudhary addressed the gathering, stating that the immense turnout was not merely a political demonstration but a collective public mission to uproot orchestrated anarchy and preserve the constitutional fabric of the republic from opposition slander against the Election Commission. Joining the offensive, Uttar Pradesh Cabinet Minister Dayashankar Singh told media personnel that the Congress party lacks the moral authority to speak on democratic values, alleging that it historically throttled democracy by imposing the 1975 Emergency, imprisoning political dissidents, and tearing constitutional norms to shreds, while accusing Rahul Gandhi of trivializing national governance through unserious political conduct. Turning his sights to SP chief Akhilesh Yadav, Singh asserted that the former Chief Minister merely inherited his political platform from his father, late Mulayam Singh Yadav, who installed him as Chief Minister in 2012, after which the state electorate has repeatedly and decisively rejected the Samajwadi Party in successive assembly and parliamentary elections. The massive demonstration, held amid tight security and widespread public attention in eastern Uttar Pradesh, firmly established the ruling party's narrative as organizational gears shift toward the 2027 state assembly polls.
