Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath targeted the previous Samajwadi Party (SP) and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) governments over the law-and-order situation in the State. The U.P. CM, addressing a rally in Saharanpur, said that the State is now known for taking strict action against rioters and anti-social elements.
“Rioters are hanged upside down and are blasted with chilli powder,” Mr. Adityanath asserted. The U.P. CM, who addressed a rally in support of the BJP’s Saharanpur candidate Raghav Lakhanpal, added that the district was turned into a hotbed of religious fanaticism by previous administrations with chaos and anarchy spread through fatwas.
“Our BJP government has ushered in a riot free U.P., and brought forth a peaceful and harmonious environment by suppressing those who incite riots and enforce curfews. We must not let them thrive again, as they will only provoke further disturbances through caste-based politics. Under the previous governments, anarchy was a daily affair,” Mr. Adityanath alleged.
