Reiterating his resolve on maintaining law and order, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that his Government would come down heavily in crime, criminals and their political masters.
Taking a dig the BSP and SP, the CM said those who governed the State for 10 years were raising questions on performance of the two-month-old BJP regime. Yogi spoke for nearly two hours replying to the debate in the Assembly on the motion of thanks on the address of the Governor at the joint session of state legislature on Friday.
“We will neither tolerate criminals nor those who patronise them. This government is not of any particular caste or religion and anyone who victimises the poor and down trodden should be ready to face the music," warned the CM.
"The criminals know their destiny after the BJP came to power in UP. We will deal with them in whichever language they understand. The government has given a free hand to the police administration to come down heavily on crime and criminals,'' said Yogi.
"For the first time in my, life I saw members of the House blowing whistles during the address of the Governor. But for others who whistle, we have set up an anti-Romeo squads," said the CM attacking the Samajwadi Party.
Yogi said that during the anti Romeo drive, the UP Police had nabbed over 1.74 lakh 'road romeos' creating trouble for girls and the police checked 6.38 lakh places across the state and 1,061 were booked and the rest were let off with warning.
