Oppn trying to divide, BJP govt uniting people, says SN Singh

Prayagraj: Senior BJP functionary and Allahabad City West MLA Sidharth Nath Singh on Tuesday came out in support of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s ‘Batenge toh katenge remarks’ (If we remain divided, we will be doomed) and said the govt under PM Narendra Modi’s guidance has been working to unite people and instill a spirit of national unity.

“One of the five resolutions of the PM is that we will be cautious of those who divide on the basis of caste, region, language, and ideologies, and the same was said by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath as a caution that If you divide, you will be doomed.”

He added that “BJP’s policy is ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, and Sabka Vishwas’, which the Prime Minister has taught. But the opposition, and especially leader of opposition in lower house Rahul Gandhi and former Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, are making abortive bids to divide Hindus in the name of caste.”

Singh, meanwhile, said, “It is unfortunate that when Rahul Gandhi comes to Prayagraj, he talks about reservation for OBCs and Dalits on the basis of caste census, but when he goes to Jammu and Kashmir, he talks about the return of Article 370 in alliance with the National Conference.”

“Under Article 370, OBCs and Dalits don’t get reservation in Jammu and Kashmir,” claimed Singh, adding, “This double standard of the opposition shows that they are ready to trade OBCs and Dalits for vote bank.”

The former UP minister said the PM has worked to give respect to Dalits and backward classes in Jammu and Kashmir by removing Article 370.

“Rahul must answer to all those brothers and sisters of the OBC, Dalit, and adivasi community whom he promised Rs 8500,” he added.
