The Congress party wants to provide minorities the right to eat beef, claimed Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday. He claimed “these shameless people” want to hand over cows into the hands of butchers.

Addressing an election rally in Moradabad, Yogi Adityanath said the party wants to give minorities the liberty to eat food of their choice, which meant “they are talking about allowing cow slaughter”.

Yogi Adityanath was addressing the rally in support of BJP candidate Parmeshwar Lal Saini for the Sambhal Lok Sabha seat.

Yogi Adityanath said the Congress will snatch away “stridhan” (women’s gold ornaments) and distribute them among Rohingya and Bangladeshi infiltrators. Referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s charge of “inheritance tax”, he claimed the Congress has promised “X-ray of people’s property.”
