Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath asserted that the Congress is pushing for an "inheritance tax resembling jizya" to redistribute properties among infiltrators. Speaking at election rallies in the Purvi and Paschim Champaran Lok Sabha constituencies, Adityanath accused the Congress and RJD of being "anti-India, anti-Ram, and anti-people." He claimed that these parties aim to "steal" quotas from SCs, STs, and OBCs and allocate them to Muslims.
Adityanath alleged, "The spirit of Aurangzeb has entered Congress leaders... they want to levy inheritance tax on the lines of 'jizya', which was imposed on non-Muslims during the Mughal era. The Congress plans to distribute your properties among 'ghuspathiye' (infiltrators) from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh. But the BJP will not allow it to happen."
"The Congress and RJD are anti-India, anti-Ram and anti-people... they must be taught lessons. These parties also want to give reservations on the basis of religion to benefit only Muslims. They are trying to rob SCs, STs and OBCs of quotas and give those to Muslims," Adityanath continued.
In a scathing attack on the Congress, he suggested that those "singing the tunes of Pakistan should go to that country and beg there"." Adityanath boasted, "India has a bigger nuclear bomb than Pakistan... it is the NDA government, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, that ended terrorism and Naxalism in the country."
"The basic motive of RJD and Congress leaders is to win elections only for their personal gains and to appease a particular section of the society," he alleged.
Predicting a humiliating defeat for the RJD, which presided over Bihar during the 'jungleraj' and 'mafiaraj' periods, Adityanath claimed, "The Congress and RJD used to question the existence of Lord Ram. But Ram Mandir was consecrated at Ayodhya... this election is a fight between 'Ram bhakts' (devotees of Lord Ram) and 'Ram drohis' (traitors to Lord Ram)."
Former Union minister and senior BJP leader Radha Mohan Singh contests as a BJP candidate from Purvi Champaran, while BJP's Sanjay Jaiswal seeks re-election from Paschim Champaran Lok Sabha seat.
Bihar's Paschim Champaran, Purvi Champaran, Valmiki Nagar, Sheohar, Vaishali, Gopalganj, Siwan, and Maharajganj constituencies will go to vote in the sixth and penultimate phase on May 25.
