Crackdown On Criminal Will Continue: CM Yogi
The UP CM, who has been facing the Opposition attack for his government’s ongoing crackdown on criminals and mafias in the state, said on Monday that there was not a single instance of riot or curfew in the state on his watch and all was well with UP.
Tearing into the erstwhile “mafia raj” in the state, the CM said there is no one left now to shed tears for hardened criminals. “The mafia raj in Uttar Pradesh is now consigned to history,” CM Adityanath said, urging the public to vote for a “triple-engine government” to give more thrust to the state`s development.
Launching the BJP`s campaign for the upcoming municipal elections in Uttar Pradesh, CM Yogi Adityanath talked about the benefits of the “double-engine government” in the state before the people.
