Ghazipur/Lucknow, July 30: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, while attacking the Samajwadi Party, said, “Those who divide society honor the foreign invader Salar Masud Ghazi. They used to bow before dreaded mafia figures who brandished weapons and even went to the mafia’s graves to offer Fateha. Under our zero-tolerance policy, our government has consigned the mafia to the soil. Now, when the son of a low-income family organizes a Ramlila, no one dares to brandish weapons and incite riots because they know that anyone who does so will have to be buried in the soil.”
The Chief Minister was addressing a public gathering on Thursday after inaugurating and laying the foundation stones for 268 development projects worth Rs 692 crore in Ghazipur. These projects will benefit people in the Ghazipur, Jakhania, Mohammadabad, Saidpur, Zamania, Zahoorabad and Jangipur Assembly constituencies.
The CM also provided detailed information about the projects being inaugurated and those whose foundation stones were laid. On the occasion, the CM appealed to the people of Ghazipur, saying, “ Elect public representatives who can advocate for you. We do not need MPs who are busy facilitating illegal arms licenses. We do not need public representatives who dare to create fake licenses and use them to commit dacoities and illegal encroachments on people’s homes.
He said, “Now the places associated with spiritual tourism in Ghazipur are being developed. Ghazipur, known as Lahuri Kashi, has its own distinct importance. A district that has been home to the ashram of Pauhari Baba and an important center associated with Lord Parashuram and Maharishi Jamadagni should not become a breeding ground for the mafia. These mafia elements belong to no one. They suck the blood of society. They exploit the poor, intimidate traders and compromise the safety of daughters.”
The CM stated that former MLA Krishnanand Rai fought against the mafia, but the mafia, nurtured under the protection of the government, brutally and mercilessly murdered Krishnanand Rai along with seven youths.
Despite all the evidence, the mafia continued to enjoy political protection. But now the mafia can no longer receive such protection. The downfall of those who try to protect them is certain. |
