There’s an age-old adage in the political circles of the country that no PM or party has reached the Parliament without winning Uttar Pradesh. And with assembly elections slated to be held next year, dubbed as the semi-final before the 2024 Lok Sabha elections — the desperate opposition parties looking to dethrone Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath have joined forces with the left-liberal media, propaganda outlets and started a hate campaign using the crutches of falsehood and treachery to spin every narrative against the Yogi government.
Fake news peddler Mohammed Zubair running the propaganda portal ‘Alt News’ posted a fake video of Abdul Samad Saifi on Twitter, claiming that he was beaten by a mob and forced to chant Jai Shree Ram. As soon as he posted the video, the usual suspects of the brigade, viz. Aarfa Khanum Sherwani, Rana Ayyub, Swara Bhasker, and others shared the video and in an instant, the liberal brigade was up in arms against the Hindus.

A Muslim man of yr grandfather’s age was brutally slapped,thrashed, kicked,his beard was violently cut while he was forced to chant JaiSriRam.
The cutting of the beard was to insult him for his religious identity.
This happened in the name of Hindus.

I’m ashamed. I’m ashamed of what happens in the name of our Gods.
Hindus in India and abroad.. who want every Muslim to constantly condemn terrorism in the name of Islam.. am I hearing your voices now when our Gods and our religion is being misused to justify this brutality?!? https://t.co/CmgCIUD1oN— Swara Bhasker (@ReallySwara) June 14, 2021
All was going perfectly according to the script until Ghaziabad Police decided to debunk the bogus narrative being peddled by Islamists and their liberal stooges ahead of the Uttar Pradesh elections. In a tweet, Ghaziabad police informed that three accused had been arrested in the case – all of whom happen to be Muslims. According to the police, the incident took place about ten days ago on June 5. The police also said that the perpetrators include Arif, Adil, Kallu, Polli, etc. Essentially, a group of Muslims forced a Muslim wizard to chant ‘Jai Shree Ram’, if the victim’s claims are to be believed.

Rift between Yogi and Modi?
As reported by TFI, first, it was conspiracy theories swirling around in the left-media circles that a potential rift had emerged between Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Prime Minister Narendra Modi ahead of the UP polls and that the BJP high command was planning to chop and change the state cabinet. However, that bubble was burst by the PM with a simple tweet when he praised Yogi Adityanath by tweeting using only three words, “Very good initiative! @myogiadityanath”.

BJP National Vice President and UP-in charge, Radha Mohan Singh further dented the hopes of the liberals and the opposition by asserting that no cabinet reshuffle was scheduled in the UP government. “As far as vacant seats are concerned, the chief minister will take a decision at an appropriate time.” He added that “BJP has the strongest organisation and most popular government in Uttar Pradesh”. When asked about the possibility of a cabinet reshuffle in the UP government by reporters, Singh dismissed the possibility as replied, “there is nothing like that”.
Ram Mandir land and corruption
Similarly, another devious scheme of the opposition ahead of the Uttar Pradesh polls was to stall the construction of Ram Mandir by accusing the Shriram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust of indulging in corruption in the purchase of land.
As reported by TFI yesterday, the lies of AAP leader Sanjay Singh and SP leader Pawan Pandey were debunked as they used the old price of the property, agreed years before the deal was finalised to portray that the price of the Temple land had been inflated.

Ravi Mohan Tiwari, one of the two property dealers, who sold the piece of land to the Trust, revealed that the agreement for the said land was made with the original owner of the land, Kusum Pathak several years ago for Rs 2 crore, but its value increased significantly after the Supreme Court decision. Tiwari said, “While I purchased it for Rs 2 crore as per my agreement, the actual price must be more than Rs 20 crore now. But I sold it for just Rs 18.5 crore because it is for a project concerned with our faith.”
It is imperative to note that Sanjay Singh is AAP’s in charge of UP and is making vile accusations to earn quick favour amongst the Hindu voters and provide a launchpad for AAP to open its account in the state.
The vicious attacks have only begun and in the coming days, such stunts and their frequency will only increase. The NDA government has so far managed to quash the fake news machinery with elan but dropping the guard can prove dangerous as the opposition is willing to use any means whatsoever to stop the Yogi wave ahead of the Uttar Pradesh elections.
