Yogi Sahab Ram Ram: When Adityanath met ‘Maulvi’ in J&K after Article 370 removal

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday highlighted the transformation in the political landscape of Jammu and Kashmir following the abrogation of Article 370.
Addressing a poll rally in Haryana’s Faridabad on Saturday, the UP Chief Minister recalled his recent visit to the valley and said that when he met a ‘Maulvi’ (Muslim cleric) there, the latter greeted him with “Ram, Ram”.
“I was in Jammu and Kashmir for the Assembly elections campaign during the last two days. I had to take a chopper to reach the venue of a rally but could not leave the airport since it was raining. As soon as I went inside the airport building, a gentleman greeted me with Ram, Ram. I did not, at first, look at him since I did not know anyone there. But when the gentleman again said Yogi Sahab Ram, Ram, I turned and saw it was a Maulvi. I was surprised to hear Ram, Ram from a Maulvi”, Yogi Adityanath said.
The former Lok Sabha MP said that he thought to himself that it was due to the Article 370 abrogation, that those who once challenged India’s sovereignty are saying ‘Ram, Ram’ today. The chants of ‘Jai Shri Ram’ from the crowd attending the poll rally followed.
“Remember, if India gets stronger, the BJP gets stronger, there will be a day when these people will be seen singing Hare Rama, Hare Krishna in the streets across the country”, Yogi Adityanath added.
This is why the country needs the BJP, he contended.
The UP Chief Minister also highlighted that there have been no communal riots in the state under his government since 2017, saying that before he assumed power, there used to be communal violence every other day.
The BJP has announced a series of 20 promises ahead of the upcoming Haryana polls, focusing on welfare, employment, and infrastructure.
It guaranteed permanent jobs for ex-Agniveers and promised to procure 24 crops at the declared Minimum Support Price (MSP) from farmers as well.
The 90 seats of the Haryana Assembly are slated to go to polls on October 5 in a single phase of voting, with results scheduled to be announced on October 8.
