Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday described the Congress and the opposition INDIA bloc as 'Ramdrohi' and 'Rashtradrohi', accusing them of betraying God and the country.

Adityanath's comments came a day after AICC spokesperson Radhika Khera resigned from the party claiming that she faced intense criticism within the party for visiting the Ram temple in Ayodhya.

''This shows that 'Ramdroh' is in the DNA of Congress, SP, and the INDI Alliance. They are 'Ramdrohi' (anti-Ram) and 'Rashtradrohi' (anti-national) both,'' Adityanath said in response to a question at a press briefing at his official residence.

''This is the character of the INDI Alliance. They have always disrespected Lord Ram and his devotees. They make every effort to make the majority community feel insulted. Whether it's Congress, SP, National Conference, or DMK, the conduct of all these parties is condemnable. And it is this 'Ramdrohi' conduct of these parties that is throwing them into the abyss,'' he said, according to a statement issued here.

Adityanath said the Congress has never missed an opportunity to demean India in the eyes of the world, nor has it hesitated in disparaging the Hindu religion.

Later, he addressed a public rally in the Unnao Lok Sabha constituency in support of BJP's Lok Sabha candidate and MP Sakshi Maharaj.

According to a statement issued in Lucknow, Adityanath said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India's global stature has risen.

Now no one can dare to look at India with a malevolent intent, he said. ''This is Modi's guarantee.'' ''The Congress and SP have a history of opposing Lord Ram... In such circumstances, one should never place trust in them,'' he said.

According to the statement, he alleged that the ''INDI alliance's manifesto'' promises complete freedom to minorities to consume food and beverages of their choice.

''In reality, the majority of society reveres the cow and vehemently opposes its slaughter, whereas the minority community favours beef consumption. Under no circumstances will we grant individuals the liberty to consume (food) according to their preference, regardless of the cost we may have to bear for upholding this principle,'' he said, according to the statement.

He emphasised that for the nation to become strong, prosperous, self-reliant and developed, it is imperative to re-elect the Modi government for a third term.

''So far, voting has taken place on about 200 seats in two phases. We observe renewed enthusiasm among the people to reinstate the Modi government. This is not sudden but a result of the transformative changes initiated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the last decade,'' he said.

Adityanath accused the Samajwadi Party of attempting to withdraw cases against terrorists during its tenure.

''The court vehemently opposed this move, cautioning that today they talk of withdrawing cases, tomorrow they might honour them with Padma Awards.

Subsequently, the court intervened and halted the Samajwadi Party's actions. This action of the government is dangerous and condemnable,'' he said.

At an election rally in Shahjahanpur, Adityanath said, ''Prime Minister Narendra Modi had talked about Panch Pran in the Amrit Mahotsav of India's Independence. In this, he also talked about ending symbols of slavery and respecting the heritage.'' ''The construction of the grand temple of Ram Lalla in Ayodhya, Vishwanath Dhaam in Kashi, the museum of martyrs in Shahjahanpur and the construction of the huge statue of Bajrangbali in Hanumant Dhaam shows respect for the heritage.'' Adityanath further said that the BJP has respect for the martyrs of India.

''Two days ago, the Samajwadi Party goons climbed the statue of national hero Maharana Pratap in Mainpuri and tried to break the spear, a symbol of his honour. They desecrated the statue and used abusive language. It is important to tell these children of Akbar and Aurangzeb that this is the new India which does not accept the insult of national heroes,'' Adityanath said.

He also claimed that Samajwadi Party goons had earlier tried to desecrate the statue of Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar, the architect of the Constitution of India. Speaking in Hardoi, Adityanath said that the Congress was opposing 'Shri Hari Vishnu' because the party itself has gone crazy. ''Recently, the party reprimanded a spokesperson for visiting the Ram temple, which is highly condemnable. Such actions will ensure the party's eventual downfall.''
