New Delhi: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath talking about crimes against women warned that those who play with women’s dignity will face the same fate as Duryodhan and Dushashan in Mahabharata.

Adityanath claimed that women, cows, and buffalos are much safer now. He said that the situation for women has improved and that now strict action is taken against those who violate women’s dignity.

"Earlier, our sisters and daughters were not able to go to schools as goons could play with their dignity. But if someone plays with the dignity of our sisters and daughters today, he will meet the same fate as that of Duryodhan and Dushashan," said Adityanath in a report by PTI.

Regarding bovines in the state he said that unlike what it was before 2017, cows, buffalos, and bulls are safe now.

“Bullock carts and buffalo carts used to disappear. But we closed down the slaughterhouses and the business of the SP and the Congress came to an end," said Adityanath.

The CM also warned those involved in ‘anti-India’ activities during a function in which he laid the foundation of 62 schemes worth Rs. 275 crores, and handed over certificates to the beneficiaries of various schemes.

Adityanath also lashed out against the Samajwadi Party and said that it was "anti-women, anti-Dalit, anti-backward, anti-Hindu and anti-children". He iterated that BJP has remained devoted to the nation.

"There are some people who do not hesitate in giving shelter to anti-India forces. Till the time there is the blessing of (Prime Minister Narendra) Modiji, you should be assured that nobody will be able to do any harm and there will be no riots in Uttar Pradesh," he said.
