Pakistan Occupied Kashmir will inescapably join India if BJP comes to power in J&K: Yogi Adityanath in Jammu

Srinagar, Sep 26: Bharatiya Janata Party leader and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath Thursday said that earlier the Hindu pilgrimage of Amarnath Yatra faced threats, but now devotees from across the country come here shouting slogans of 'Bam Bam Bole.'

Yogi was addressing a political rally in Jammu's Vijaypur in a quest to boost the BJP's campaign in Jammu will vote in the last phase of the ongoing assembly elections in the region.

Pakistan, Yogi said, had failed to save their democracy and their country is falling.

"The people of Balochistan are protesting against the government's policy," he said.

Yodi said that flour in Pakistan costs Rs 500 per kilogram while on the other side of the border, "PM Modi gives 80 crore people of India free ration."

He said, Modi also provides free treatment up to Rs 5 Lakh. "Pakistan is sinking while India is progressing," he said.

Yogi credited Modi for the opening of Kartarpur corridor between India and Pakistan.

“Today, J&K is known as the tourism capital instead of terrorism capital,” Yogi said, reiterating statements of other BJP star campaigners including PM Modi and HM Shah.

Yogi said, there was a time when BJP needed permission to unfurl tricolour in Lal Chowk, "but the national flag is flying high today."

Yogi slammed JKNC, PDP, and Congress for "ruining J&K."

He said that it was Modi's government that provided voting rights to refugees from West Pakistan and Valmikis, who he said were deprived of these rights by the people who ruled J&K.

“These were the parties who supported terrorism in 1990 and enjoyed vacations in Europe and England,” Yogi said.

Taking a dig at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, Yogi said the Leader of Opposition (LoP) must answer whether he supports NC’s agenda of promoting terrorism in Kashmir again and restoring the old bad days when there were two flags, two constitutions and two leaders.

The two phases of the three-phased assembly elections in J&K concluded yesterday, while the third and the final phase is expected to take place on Oct 1. Results will be declared on Oct 8.
