In an exclusive interview with India TV Editor-in-chief Rajat Sharma, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said like Lanka, the end of Samajwadi Party too has come.

The diaspora said that Adityanath has transformed the state in the last five years and he should be given one more term to serve the people of the country's most populous state.

Adityanath, who was a five-time MP from Gorakhpur, is the mahant of the Gorakhnath Math.

Addressing his second election rally of the day in Deoria, Modi attacked previous governments in Uttar Pradesh.

Yogi Adityanath also invoked the legacy of Maharaja Suheldev, who he said had defeated and killed invader Ghazi Saiyyad Salar Masood in a battle at Bahraich.

UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that the Samajwadi Party govt used to supply even power to an area on the basis of the religion of people living there, but the BJP government works on the principle of inclusive growth.

Pilibhit, Lakhimpur-Kheri, Sitapur, Lucknow, Hardoi, Unnao, Rae Bareli, Fatehpur and Banda districts will go to polls in the fourth phase today. A total of 624 candidates are in the fray for 59 Assembly seats.

In the photo, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav is seen with Abu Azmi and SP leader Shadab Ahmed, whose son Mohammad Saif is a convict in the Ahmedabad blast case.

Adityanath alleged that the Samajwadi Party wants to weaken the fight against terrorism, adding that it batted for the release of people involved in acts of terror.

Yadav probably doesn't know that I have been monitoring the functioning of government schemes through an e-dashboard installed in my office as well as residence, the chief minister said.

Uttar Pradesh incumbent Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath was asked to respond on his prime ministerial ambitions.

The UP Chief Minister, Yogi Adityanath also stated that the Ram temple will be a 'Rashtra Mandir' of India.

Karhal is just four km from Akhilesh's native village Saifai in the Etawah district. Akhilesh served as the Chief Minister between 2012 and 2017 through the legislative council route and is also an MP from Azamgarh presently.

The Yogi Adityanath-led government had told the Apex Court that on February 13 and 14, it withdrew 274 recovery notices issued against anti-CAA protestors for destruction of properties.

Lashing out at the Congress, Yogi Adityanath said that the day labourers from UP stop going to other states for work, 'the Congress government would know what the situation would be there'.

Rajnath Singh said they (BJP) never did Hindu-Muslim politics and neither accepted politics based on caste or creed. It's the Samajwadi Party, Bahujan Samaj Party, Congress that do caste, creed politics but BJP only believes in politics of development.

 Addressing an election rally here, PM Modi said people in UP are saying only the BJP will come to power in the state, and cautioned that attempts were being made to divide them.

Mukhtar Ansari was arrested in 2005 for his alleged role in the murder of BJP MLA Krishnanand Rai, and he has been behind the bars ever since.

Union Minister and BJP's Karhal candidate SP Singh Baghel alleged that Samajwadi Party has always been involved in booth capturing in this region as they want to threaten people not to vote.

Adityanath reached the Ravidas temple at the Seer Govardhan premises in the morning, paid his respects to the 15th-16th century poet and also had 'prasad' at the 'langar' served.
