His video message was shared by the BJP’s UP unit on its official Twitter handle. Adityanath said, “Many things have happened in these five years under the BJP’s the double-engine government’s rule. You have seen yourself how we have worked and delivered on our promises. Let me share something with you from my heart. Be careful, because if you make any mistake, all the efforts we put in in the last five years will go to waste. And it would not take much time for Uttar Pradesh to become Kashmir, Kerala and Bengal.”
“Your vote will also be a guarantee of your fear-free life,” he added.
