LUCKNOW: In an apparent dig at the Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan in his home turf Rampur, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday said the government has worked to eliminate land mafia and the administration has freed the land belonging to the poor and traders in the state.
“Those who used to spread fear among people are now visiting police stations and are begging for mercy while bulldozers are razing down the properties of mafiosos and their henchmen,” Yogi said while launching a slew of development projects of Rs 64 crore in Rampur.
Today, when bulldozers run over the chests of these land mafiosos, the criminals run away but their leaders feel troubled. They did not feel troubled when the land of the poor, traders or a common person was grabbed by the land mafia and criminals. Action has been taken against over 147 such land mafia who conspired to end the legacy of Rampur, he added.
Our government does not discriminate between anyone and works to please any specific community for increasing our vote bank. As a result, every district has moved towards development, Yogi said.
“Under the guidance of PM Modi, we have worked to realise the vision of ‘Ek Bharat, Shresht Bharat’,” he added.
Taking a dig at Opposition, he said while BJP leaders were serving people alongside healthcare workers during the peak of Covid-19 second wave, leaders of other parties were in ‘home isolation’.
The CM said leaders who were in home isolation should continue to stay at home during the upcoming elections. “At the same time, when the PM was reviewing the Covid situation in states and I was visiting districts, BJP MPs and MLAs were serving the people along with health workers, district administration and corona warriors. But people of other parties were in home isolation. They should stay in their homes even during the time of elections.”
“Those who cannot stand with you during the time of crisis , those who cannot share your pain, should be answered in the same way during the time of elections,” the CM said.
UP ministers Brajesh Pathak and Baldev Singh Aulakh, and UP BJP chief Swatantra Dev Singh were also present in the programme.
