Early Times Report GORAKHPUR, Apr 5: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath called upon BJP's young workers to remain vigilant and respond firmly, while maintaining decorum, to the negative narratives being spread by a frustrated and disheartened opposition on social media platforms. He said, "In view of the upcoming Assembly elections, the opposition would launch a fresh wave of fabricated allegations online, and BJP's booth-level teams must stay strong and prepared to counter and rebut such attacks." The Chief Minister was addressing the 'Yuva Samvad' programme organized by the Malviya Nagar Mandal of the Bharatiya Janata Party's mahanagar unit on Sunday. Speaking at the event held at a marriage hall in Singhadiya, he encouraged party workers, stating that the youth must focus on development while also respecting heritage. He added, "Just as soldiers remain alert to safeguard the nation's borders, party workers too must stay vigilant in their responsibilities." He emphasized that booth-level workers must actively promote the achievements of the double-engine government and remain alert at their respective booths. He urged them to stay vigilant on social media as well, noting that those who once created an identity crisis for the youth of Uttar Pradesh, having failed on all fronts, will now resort to social media. He added, "They will attempt to set negative narratives through false and fabricated allegations, and workers must be ready to counter them effectively." He added, "To counter such narratives, workers should highlight past instances of lawlessness, including mafia dominance, extortion, insecurity of women and traders, and communal unrest during festivals. They should present evidence such as newspaper clippings and examples from that time, and respond assertively while maintaining the dignity of language." The Chief Minister said, "Emphasis should be placed on promoting positive aspects. By creating quality content, social media platforms can be used effectively to highlight developments across sectors, thereby strengthening the campaign of the double-engine government." CM Yogi said, "India's youth has always stood for truth and Sanatan values." Citing examples from the lives of Lord Rama, Lord Krishna, Abhimanyu, Guru Gobind Singh and his four sons, Swami Vivekananda, Maharana Pratap, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Rani Lakshmibai, Subhas Chandra Bose and Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, he said these figures symbolize the power and inspiration of youth who dedicated everything for the nation and dharma. |
