“No mafia can threaten anyone in the state. In 2017, the law and order situation in Uttar Pradesh was bad and it was infamous for riots. Earlier, the state’s identity was in danger, but now the state is becoming a danger to the mafias,” Yogi Adityanath said.
“There were more than 700 riots from 2012 to 2017 but not a single riot took place from 2017 to 2023. Curfew was not imposed even once. Now, no mafia can threaten any entrepreneur or businessman. Uttar Pradesh of today guarantees the best security,” he added.
