Exclusive | CM Yogi Adityanath Accuses SP Of Leaving UP With A ‘Law And Order Crisis’

In an exclusive conversation with India Today Group’s Sweta Singh, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath criticised the Samajwadi Party’s record in power. Responding to the party’s claims about development, Yogi alleged that corruption and commission demands held back infrastructure projects, including expressways and road construction. He also accused previous SP governments of failing to address law-and-order concerns and said more than 1,500 riots took place during its four terms in office. Yogi claimed that Uttar Pradesh had suffered an identity crisis under previous governments and contrasted that period with the development and governance priorities of his administration.
