Uttar Pradesh: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday while kicking off an election campaign in Uttar Pradesh's Saharanpur asserted that law and order in the state have improved since his government came into power. He further said that nowadays Uttar Pradesh is being identified by its grand festivals and not by the mafia. Adityanath also spoke about the achievements of his government and charged that earlier governments were busy instigating riots.
Amidst loud applause from locals, CM Yogi Adityanath made it clear that Uttar Pradesh is not anyone's property and extortion in the state will not be allowed. He also said that now people of Uttar Pradesh are witnessing no riots and curfews and all is good.
CM Adityanath lashed out at previous govt
Lashing out at the previous governments, the chief minister said, "Before 2017, the governments here did not have time for anything other than creating riots but today there is no curfew in Uttar Pradesh. Now the Kanwar Yatra is taken out. Earlier, fake cases were lodged against the youth but now no one can do that." "Earlier daughters were afraid to leave their homes. Today, however, there is a fear-free atmosphere in Uttar Pradesh," he said.
UP CM also made a fervent appeal to people to support the saffron party in the upcoming urban body elections and said "this election is for connecting the third engine to the double engine government. Once that is done, the money that will come from Delhi will be put to good use."
Yogi Adityanath cautioned the voters against other forces
Cautioning the voters against other forces, he said, "We have to decide whether we want a casteist governments which were in place before the 2017 period or a government which is dedicated to the welfare of the poor. We all have to decide whether to have a corruption-ridden system or a corruption-free system. We have to decide whether the youths should have guns in their hands or tablets and smartphones. We have to decide whether there should be sound of gunfire in the streets or a change in the lives of people, he said.
"We have to decide whether we want extortion by hooligans or a system that provides self-financing to the poor. There should be a 'Safe City'. 'Bhajan Ganga' (devotional hymns) should be our priority," he said.
