Ahead of the fifth phase of polling for Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday took a dig at the Samajwadi Party alleging that the party propagates riots.
"Decide what kind of government you want, one that propagates riots or the one that frees you from them and works for the welfare of poor people", said Adityanath while addressing a rally in Barabanki.

Attacking the previous Samajwadi Party on electricity supply, the Chief Minister said, "Uninterrupted power supply to every household with the establishment of power sub-station in Ramnagar area of Barabanki at a cost of Rs 63.87 crores.

He said that the BJP government has implemented projects related to the construction of bridges and roads while taking flood protection measures at an amount of Rs 36.22 crore in the Ramnagar area of Barabanki. "In the Ramnagar area of Barabanki, projects related to bridge construction, road construction and flood protection have been implemented at an amount of Rs 36.22 crores.
