INDI alliance used Soros’ money to influence Lok Sabha polls: Adityanath



LUCKNOW: In a big charge, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has alleged that Congress and its allies in the INDIA bloc used billionaire George Soros’s money to influence the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

Sharpening his attacks, the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister even called this alleged involvement an act by a “traitor.”

In an exclusive interview with ANI, CM Adityanath said, “They did propaganda and they had not only spread propaganda, but foreign money was also involved in it. George Soros had long ago announced it… I am saying that foreign money was involved in the Lok Sabha elections throughout the country in which Congress and other parties of the INDIA bloc were directly indirectly involved, and through that, they tried to influence the elections. This falls in the category of deshdroh (treason).”

The Uttar Pradesh CM also opened up on the recent controversy surrounding stand-up artiste Kunal Kamra.

Criticising him, the Chief Minister said that some people have treated freedom speech as their birthright to divide the country further.

“The freedom of expression cannot be used to attack. It is unfortunate that some people considered the freedom of speech as their birthright to divide the country and further deepen divisions,” Adityanath said.
