Yogi Adityanath roared in Mahoba
On one hand, the fake news of CM Yogi's demise was made viral by posting it on the status, while on the other hand, CM Yogi fiercely targeted his opponents in Mahoba.
Addressing a rally, CM Yogi said, "Before 2017 there was terror of dacoits. There were big mafias. SP, BSP and Congress only nurtured mafias. They were spreading anarchy, looting, and destroying the roads. They were playing with the lives of the youth. The safety of the daughter and the businessman was in danger. Development was at a standstill."
CM Yogi added, "The population of Pakistan is 24 crore. PM Modi has brought 25 crore people out of poverty and led them to live a happy life. More people have escaped poverty here than the population of Pakistan. Those who are singing the praises of Pakistan, should leave India. They should go to Pakistan and beg there."
