Mafia and criminals are a thing of the past in Uttar Pradesh, says CM Yogi

Launching the BJP campaign for the Urban Body polls on Monday, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that the law and order scenario had improved, and riots or curfew were a thing of the past with the State transforming into a symbol of prosperity, safety and employment.

“Criminals and anti-aocial elements have become a thing of the past and U.P. evolved into a symbol of safety, prosperity and employment. No curfew, no danga, UP mein sab changa (Curfews and riots are no longer happening in U.P.; everything is fine),” said Mr. Adityanath, while addressing a public meeting at Maharaj Singh Degree College in Saharanpur. “ Rangdari na Firauti, Ab U.P. nahi hai kisi ki bapauti” (No extortions, or kidnappings for ransom take place and U.P. is no longer anyone’s legacy,” he added.

Mr. Adityanath claimed that the State government took the welfare schemes to the people without any discrimination and with everyone’s support, faith and effort. “Uttar Pradesh eliminated the presence of criminals and the State has no place for even those who sympathised with dreaded criminals who were a threat to society,” he said.
