No Partition if Modi had been there in 1947: UP CM Yogi Adityanath
CM Yogi Adityanath blamed Congress for the partition and said India ‘paid the price for the Congress’s cowardice’.
UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, in a speech commemorating the 1947 Partition Horrors Remembrance Day, blamed the Congress Party for India's partition, asserting that if a leader like Narendra Modi had been in power then, India would have remained united. Addressing a gathering at Lok Bhavan, Adityanath accused the Congress of cowardice and called the Partition one of the darkest chapters in human history.
He claimed that India continues to bear the consequences of the Congress's actions, and emphasized the need to remember the suffering of that era to educate future generations.
Adityanath specifically criticized the Congress and Samajwadi Party for spreading confusion about the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), stating that the law does not involve seizing land or property, yet protests and violence erupted across the country in opposition to it. He claimed that the Opposition was responsible for the anti-CAA protests and the riots that followed, attributing India's partition to the "Congress's cowardice".
He further alleged that the Congress had failed to rehabilitate Partition displaced people and compensate them for their lost property, instead prioritizing personal gain.
The Chief Minister also accused the Samajwadi Party of championing anti-nationals and attempting to politicize historical events. He stated that Congress members had protected the estate of Mahmudabad's Nawab, while neglecting the displaced Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, and Jains from Pakistan. Adityanath targeted the Samajwadi Party for supporting individuals who had acted against India's independence, including a Samajwadi Party leader naming a university after a person responsible for Partition.
He urged citizens to present correct facts and raise public awareness when faced with attempts by anti-India forces to create chaos on social media. Adityanath called for a unified India by 2047, emphasizing the importance of Uttar Pradesh's development and self-reliance at all levels. During his speech, Adityanath led a silent march in Lucknow to honor the victims of the Partition, paying tribute to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and conveying a message of national unity.
