Lucknow, 11 Aug

(HS): Speaking at the Monsoon session of the Assembly, Uttar Pradesh Chief

Minister Yogi Adityanath stated that the Samajwadi Party and Democracy are at

opposite ends of the river. When did

they begin to have trust in democracy? Talking about democracy does not appeal

to them. Everyone is aware of what they did in Sambhal. Whether in Sambhal,

Bahraich, or Gorakhpur, everyone is aware of SP's wrongdoing.

During their time

in office, they accomplished nothing. If

the NDA administration wishes to bring about progress, you (the Samajwadi

Party) must be disappointed.... We deal with traders from all around the

state. Traders were subjected to goonda

taxes during the SP rule. As a result,

the traders are upset with you, and the Samajwadi Party has to face the brunt

of it on several occasions.

Instead of taking

efforts to help traders, they (the Samajwadi Party) have simply made matters

worse. The Samajwadi Party cannot be expected to discuss security and promote

decent development.
