When asked about a statement made by a Samajwadi leader that "BJP orchestrates riots right before elections," Yogi responded, "We (BJP) do not stage riots; we have freed people and society from rioters. (Hum aise logon ko dhang se thikaane lagate hain). Rioting is not in our nature."
Yogi stated, "Uttar Pradesh will progress in accordance with its constitutional obligations to development and the sentiments of its people." Our actions will be guided by the law, ensuring the state's well-being. We are committed to humanity and will take all necessary steps to reform criminals."
Yogi On 'Bulldozer' Remark:
When asked about a statement made by former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and Samajwadi Party Chief Akhilesh Yadav that the "Bulldozer" works on everyone except BJP members, Yogi responded, "No, it is not like that. It works for everyone. Whoever comes in the path of development must be bulldozed".
