Addressing a rally at Sonamukhi in Bankura district, Adityanath said Bengal is known as the land of Swami Vivekananda and Ramakrishna, who enriched the country's spiritual quest.
"But the TMC government disrespects spiritual icons revered worldwide, posing a threat to the Hindu identity of the state," he alleged.
"Bengal has now become the place of 'goonda gardi', which was common in UP nine-ten years back before the BJP came to power there. There was a lack of development and growth in UP. But see the changes now," he added.
Adityanath said there is no appeasement in UP, but "inclusive Hinduism", where every community can live peacefully in a secure environment.
"Every month, there used to be a curfew. But since 2017, with the BJP in power in UP, there have been no curfews or riots. All mafias have been dealt with in the way they deserve, with zero tolerance. Now, UP is an important contributor to India's growth," he said.
