As soon as Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath reiterated his resolve to destroy the mafia in the state in the Assembly on Saturday, enthusiasm spread among his supporters and three hashtags supporting the CM’s campaign against the mafia were the top trending ones on the micro-blogging site Twitter, reaching record-breaking one billion people.
#’Yogi Means Governance, ‘#Yogi Adityanath and #Yogi Surgical Strike started trending on Twitter simultaneously. #YogiAdiyanath trended more than 33 crore times whereas #YogiMeansGovernance hashtag remained among the top trends for more than 65 crore times.
The opposition parties did try hard to corner the Yogi Adityanath government over the murder of Umesh Pal, the main witness of Raju Pal murder case, allegedly by the henchmen of SP-backed mafia don Atique Ahmed in Prayagraj, but in vain as CM Yogi countered their allegations with facts, leaving them without an answer.
He said that the Samajwadi Party not only glorified the mafia during its tenure, but also garlanded them. He said that the mafia involved in Prayagraj incident had been enjoying power under the patronage of Atique Ahmed of the SP and that the party had no moral right to blame the current government.
