LDF, UDF supporting ‘jihadist’ forces: Adityanath

Both the Left Democratic Front and United Democratic Front are supporting communal and ‘jihadist’ forces in Kerala, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has said. Mr. Adityanath said that despite the Kerala High Court expressing concerns and directed the State government to frame laws to stop ‘love-jihad’ in 2009, the State has not yet passed an anti- ‘love jihad’ legislation. Mr. Adityanath said the alternative rule of the Left Democratic Front and the United Democratic Front has failed to bring the State on the path of development. Mr. Adityanath said that the role of the Public Service Commission had been degraded to a firm recruiting party workers and family members to government jobs.
