Lucknow: UP CM Yogi Adityanath said the SP is still not able to overcome the criminal, mafia and tamchanist mentality. He said the Samajwadi Party is again trying to create an atmosphere in the state before 2017 by giving tickets to rioters and culprits. But people will not accept it once again.

Talking to reporters on Wednesday, the CM said that before 2017, the tendency of dynasty and nepotism was ruling the state. The RESOLUTION issued by the BJP in the Assembly elections 2017 had created a issue of nationalism, good governance and development. He said that in the last five years, his government has provided an atmosphere of security in the state which will not be allowed to end.

On the question of Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav contesting the elections, Chief Minister Yogi said that everyone should contest elections and everyone has the right to contest elections. He said that we also wish him to be the official candidate of the party. He said that but one thing has become clear that the Samajwadi Party is on the backfoot after releasing the first list. He is afraid to release the second list, he is not able to muster the courage to release the second list. He said Akhilesh has given tickets to rioters in Saharanpur, Muzaffarnagar and those responsible for the exodus. They don't have the answer.
