Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday came down heavily on the Samajwadi Party and held them responsible for crime incidents in the state. He also reminded the party of its former chief's comment who had advocated for boys accused in rape cases not to be hanged.
Highlighting about the government's steps taken to combat women safety, Yogi said that it was the BJP-led government which formed Anti-Romeo squads. "This government is very serious towards women safety. As soon as this government was formed, we created Anti-Romeo squads...

How can they speak on women safety, Samajwadi Party itself is a danger to women safety... The government is alert, and determined to provide safety to every daughter and trader..."
