UP CM Yogi Adityanath targets Samajwadi Party for corruption

While indicating towards the recent Income Tax raid at Kanpur businessman Piyush Jain, the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has attacked the previous government in a rally in Kaushambi, UP on December 26.

While addressing people in the 'Jan Vishwas Yatra' CM Yogi said that while the BJP government both at the Centre and the State are fulfilling its commitment made to the people of the state, the previous government indulged in corrupt practices.

CM Yogi said, “While Bharatiya Janata Party's double engine governments are working with full commitment, you must have seen, those who are out of power for five years, even today crores of currency notes are coming out of their walls."

He hinted about the recent Income Tax raid in which crores of cash currencies of different denominations have been recovered from Kanpur businessman Piyush Jain’s house. He accused the previous government to spend taxpayers' money on corruption whereas his government is using it to fulfil welfare schemes.

CM Yogi said, "The free food that the central and state governments are giving to the people of the state, that money was used for corruption in the earlier governments.”

He highlighted how the government’s various schemes have helped people in fulfilling their basic needs for housing.

"Nearly 50,000 families have been allotted new homes in Kaushambi. Earlier there were restrictions on Kaveri Yatra, today the government shows petals for the Yatra. Earlier there was a stampede in Kumbh in Prayagraj, now when Kumbh is organised in Prayagraj, devotees from all parts of the world laud the preparations," CM Yogi said.
