Your worry in not for cow protection but for slaughterhouses,” said the U.P. CM. in the State Assembly.
Mr. Adityanath alleged that the common people of the State haven’t forgotten the corruption and misadventure committed in the Samajwadi Party (SP) regime and added the Opposition party is in a habit of taking undue credit for development projects. “Opposition leaders consistently try to take undue credit for the development projects.

People of the state haven’t forgotten their deeds,” said Mr. Adityanath, while speaking on supplementary Budget tabled by the State government.
Mr. Adityanath added in comparison to the SP regime, the law and order improved considerably during the BJP rule. “Everyone in the state knows, what was the law-and-order situation in the SP government, and how it improved under our regime.
