While addressing a public rally in Chhattisgarh's Korba, Uttar Pradesh CM and BJP leader Yogi Adityanath hailed the security situation in India under the PM Modi-led government. He said that today the situation is such that even if a firecracker bursts anywhere (in India), Pakistan gives explanations that it wasn't involved. He made the comments while drawing a comparison between the ruling Modi government and the pre-2014 Congress-led government.

"During Congress government, people died of hunger, farmers committed suicide, the youth migrated, daughters and businessmen were unsafe, terrorists could infiltrate into the country and would explode bombs anywhere. But today, even if a firecracker bursts, Pakistan starts giving explanations that it wasn't involved because it knows if it is found involved in any attack, the forces of New India will infiltrate into its territory and attack," said Yogi Adityanath while addressing the election rally.

Chhattisgarh has a total of 11 parliamentary constituencies, of which four seats are reserved for ST candidates and one seat is reserved for SC candidate. The remaining six seats in the state are unreserved.
