Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has slammed the Virbhadra Singh government in Himachal Pradesh, accusing it of turning Dev Bhoomi into Apraadh Bhoomi .
Canvassing for Bharatiya Janata Party candidates at Arki and Haroli on Sunday, he alleged that only crime and corruption had increased under Congress rule in Himachal, and urged the people of the State to vote for the BJP.
“The Congress has turned the Dev Bhoomi [land of Gods] into ApraadhBhoomi [land of crime]. It has sullied the name of the State, which is now known for pine forests and mining mafia, and illegal activities,” he said.
The drug mafia is in its prime in the State but the government has been keeping mum, he added.
He said that after Uttar Pradesh and Uttrakhand, it was now Himachal Pradesh’s turn to show the door to Congress.
