Mangaluru: Karnataka government is partnered with the Jihadi forces and the state has turned into an asylum for hostile to anti-national forces, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said on Tuesday.

Addressing the valedictory program of the ‘Jana Suraksha Yatre’ organized by the BJP in Mangaluru, he said that a BJP government alone can impart a feeling of security among people of Karnataka, by controlling the anti-national forces. The Congress government energized such forces by pulling back the bodies of evidence against the activists of KFD and PFI. Therefore, the Hindu activists were butchered barbarously in the state, he expressed.

“An environment of dread is being spread by Jihadi forces and the state government is empowering these forces. The state government itself is representing a danger to individuals of Karnataka and, the fierce homicides of 24 Hindu activists are a proof of it. No development works are going ahead in Karnataka,” the BJP leader charged.

Adityanath honoured the family of 24 Hindu activists who were killed in various parts of the state in the past five years.

He said the Congress has turned into an issue for the whole nation and called upon individuals to make Karnataka free of Congress. Karnataka has turned into “the ATM of Congress and anti-national components,” he commented.

“The BJP is shaping governments in Tripura, Nagaland and Meghalaya. The Congress’ accomplishment in these states has been zero. On the off chance that upper east can convey the BJP to control, for what reason not Karnataka,” he asked and, called upon the general population to introduce a BJP government in the state to make Karnataka ”crime and corruption free” .

Adityanath began his speech by saying “Mangalurina Nanna Bandhugalige Namaskaragalu”, and reviewed the association of seer Gorakshanath of Gorakhpur with Kadali Yogeshwar Mutt and Manjunath Temple, Kadri.
