Maximum Riots In UP During Samajwadi Party Rule, Says Yogi Adityanath

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath also said since vaccines against COVID-19 saved lives, votes should also go to "Yogi and Modi vaccines".

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday said Uttar Pradesh saw the maximum number of riots during the Samajwadi Party rule and only the incumbent BJP government kept such incidents under check.

He also said since vaccines against COVID-19 saved lives, votes should also go to "Yogi and Modi vaccines".

In his addresses at the election rallies in Rajepur and Kamalganj, Mr Adityanath called the SP "a party of rioters" and said the maximum number of riots in the state took place during the previous government as the Akhilesh Yadav-led party patronized anti-social elements.

After the BJP government assumed power, he said, effective curbs were implemented, which is why "not a single incident of rioting took place in five years".
