“Beware of Divisive Forces”: Yogi Adityanath Warns Against Threats to India’s Unity and Progress

Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has issued a strong warning against what he described as persistent conspiracies aimed at breaking India’s social fabric and derailing its journey toward becoming a developed nation. Speaking at a public event in Lucknow, the Chief Minister emphasized the need for national unity and vigilance against elements trying to divide the country in the name of caste, region, and language.

“If we truly want to see a developed India, we must remain alert to forces that sow division and distrust among our people,” said Adityanath. He stressed that India has never lacked strength, intelligence, or educational capacity at any point in history, and it is only internal sabotage that has slowed its rise.

He accused political opponents of undermining national interests by indulging in vote-bank politics, supporting infiltrators over citizens, and fostering divisions that ultimately benefit hostile external forces. “They have no concern for the poor or the rights of Indian citizens. Their only interest is in securing political power—even if it comes at the cost of national unity,” he said.

Without naming any party directly, Adityanath attacked the culture of dynasty politics, calling it an obstacle to democratic growth and a breeding ground for corruption and caste-based manipulation. “When such forces are in power, they use casteism as a weapon. They pretend to sympathize with the underprivileged, but their true intent is to maintain their hold over power,” he added.

Yogi Adityanath also touched upon the issue of infiltrators being illegally granted rights and privileges meant for Indian citizens.
