Hitting back on SP, UP CM Yogi on Friday said the BJP government believes in development but also has bulldozers for the mafia and that is why women in the state feel safe. He also targeted the SP and said the party has only built boundary walls for graveyards in the name of development. “The BJP government keeps development on one hand and a bulldozer on the other. This bulldozer is used to run over the mafia. For this reason, women in the state are safe, and the girls are going to schools,” he said.
