Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday took a potshot at Samajwadi Party and said that in the latter's tenure only people associated with the Samajwadi Party were given money, and added that in the current BJP government, money is being given to the people of UP without any discrimination. 

Speaking at the budget session of UP Legistative Council, he said that, as of now, there is a medical college in every district, medical staff is appointed, health fairs are being organised, blood banks are being established in every district and technical personnel are being appointed.

The CM said, as quoted by news agency ANI, "For the last more than seven years, money is being given to the public from the 'Mukhyamantri Vivekadhin Kosh' without any discrimination... When the Samajwadi Party was in power, only people associated with the Samajwadi Party were given money... In the BJP government, money is being given to the people of UP as per the policy without any discrimination... From independence till 2017, only 17 government medical colleges were built in UP. After our government was formed, a medical college is being built in every district..."

He also took a dig at SP for defaming Maha Kumbh city Prayagraj and said that the latter is spreading propaganda about the city.

CM Yogi said, "They (Samajwadi Party) left no stone unturned to defame Prayagraj. You were spreading propaganda about Prayagraj... As someone has rightly said, 'Jiski jaisi drishti waisi uski Srishti'... They were finding ways to defame Prayagraj. Some people were saying in Parliament that thousands of people have died in Maha Kumbh but 28,000 people were reunited with their families during Maha Kumbh... Samajwadi Party and Congress only want to defame India. Their fight may be against BJP, but sometimes by fighting against BJP, they go against India..."
