Samajwadi Party promoted ‘One district, one mafia’ scheme: Yogi

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday targeted Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav over his photo with an accused in the Umesh Pal murder case which went viral on social media. Adityanath said in the state assembly that the previous Samajwadi Party government handed over the state to the mafias, and ran the ‘One district, one mafia’ scheme. “We launched the ‘One district, one product’ scheme which created lakhs of employment opportunities and made the poor self-reliant,” he said. The chief minister said that there are two ways to solve any problem– either you run away or you participate to resolve it. He said that since 2017, the state’s government is working towards the basic mantra of ‘Sabka Saath, Saath Vikas’.
