LUCKNOW: After leading the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to a comfortable majority for the second time, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday asserted that the people voted for nationalism and good governance in this election, and called on the party workers to stay focused and accountable.

“Amid fervour of the victory, we must stay focused and accountable to the people,” Yogi told the gathering.

The BJP leader accused Opposition parties of conspiring against his government during the Covid-19 pandemic. “When we were fighting Covid, they (Opposition) were conspiring against us. People have once again voted for nationalism and good governance. It is our responsibility to continue working on these issues,” he said.

He thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his continued support to the state and guidance to the state party leadership.
