Gorakhpur (Uttar Pradesh) [India], March 25 : Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday highlighted that the state government is continuously making efforts to strengthen law and order, stating that the campaign against mafia activities originated in Gorakhpur.

According to him, this marked the first time a government in the state completed a full five-year term and was re-elected with a two-thirds majority.

"Our fight against the mafia began from Gorakhpur. Today, the entire state is experiencing its joy..The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) assumed power in Uttar Pradesh for the first time on March 19, 2017, and for the second time on March 25, 2022. This is the first government to successfully complete its five-year term and achieve a landslide victory with a two-thirds majority," said CM Yogi.

The Chief Minister attributed this success to the dedication of party workers at the grassroots level. He added that residents, whether in Gorakhpur, eastern Uttar Pradesh, or any other part of the statenow face fewer obstacles in development work and public services. He also claimed that people no longer struggle with basic issues, are less affected by diseases, and feel safer in an environment free from fear, disorder, and mafia influence.

Said CM Yogi, "This happened because of the workers' dedicated work on the ground. Today, whether it is Gorakhpur or any district of eastern Uttar Pradesh or any district of the state, they do not have to struggle for their development works. Today they do not have to grapple with public-related problems. Today the people of eastern Uttar Pradesh do not have to suffer from diseases.
