CM Yogi Held Meeting With BJP Functionaries In Ambedkar Nagar

He later held a meeting with officials and public representatives of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Ambedkar Nagar given the by-polls, which is likely to take place in the coming days. While addressing the meeting, he said, "The upcoming election is a contest between the BJP's development agenda and the opposition's destructive propaganda."

Notably, by-elections are to be held on 10 assembly seats across the state in the coming days. However, the schedule for the polls has not been declared yet.

After his meeting on various issues with the officials, a press statement was released. According to the statement, Yogi Adityanath highlighted the opposition's tactics of dividing the society along caste lines and spreading false rumours, similar to the one witnessed in the recent Lok Sabha elections.

"Opposition might use social media and other platforms to mislead the public during the byelections," he said.

To counter this, the chief minister urged the BJP functionaries and representatives to actively engage with the community and dispel the opposition's misinformation from every platform. He said the party officials and public representatives should go among the people and communicate with them.

Adityanath highlighted that the government is running development schemes benefiting all sections of society and urged the party workers to communicate these achievements to the public.
