In an exclusive interview with Pravin Kumar in conclave ‘Destination Uttar Pradesh’, CM Yogi Aditentalath reveal what made him join politics in the ’90s.
You were appointed as successor Gorakhsh Peeth in 1994 when Gorakhpur full of evil.
You are young and obviously will face the threat.
So, if you get an initial training in handling criminal and mafia? Around 1994-95.
There Gorakhpur famous family that has two big havelis.
The state government has allocated two havelis to the mafia.
Families bringing both buildings down.
My family met a day after they dropped the building and asked what happened.
The man said if he did not destroy the building, then he will lose everything, but now at least he could defend the land.
In another incident, I got a call from the rich in Gorakhpur.
He said his house is occupied by a minister.
I arrived at the site to find that stuff removed.
I told them the owner of the building has not been sold so how could anyone take over.
The public was watching, but nobody did anything.
When the mafia waving some papers in my face, I said publicly to beat them.
Incidents like this make me join politics.
Now, no one is capable of doing this kind of activity.
All the criminals know that if they try to illegally occupy something they must face the bulldozer.
Your opponents say that the government crackdown selektif.mefia is mafia.
It should not be associated with caste, community or religion.
Mafia is public enemy and worse than coronavirus.
In previous elections, the BJP went without a face CM and got a historic mandate.
Now, you are the face and it looked like a referendum election on your work.
Does that worry you? We were confused.
When we fight mafia alone, then we are not confused.
When we fight with encephalitis, we’re confused.
The success of anything you see above has occurred because of the leadership that inspires PM and guidance.
Would you be disappointed if you get 250 seats? I believe we will not get less than 350 seats SP said there was massive support for his demonstration.
Everything you can see how much support they get.
We see in their behavior in Kanpur …
How confident they are.
They are trying to damage the environment, but they will not succeed.
