Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that in the last five years, the Yogi Adityanath government has brought Uttar Pradesh out of the situation like Kidnapping, extortion, riots, robbery, mafia rule that was the order of the day during the Samajwadi government.

"No one can forget what was discussed about UP 5 years back? 5 years ago - the 'Dabangg' and rioters were the law, where was the order of the government. 5 years agoMerchant used to rob, the daughters were afraid to come out of the house and the mafia used to roam freely under government protection," PM Modi said while addressing a virtual rally for UP assembly election. He alleged that kidnapping, ransom and extortion ravaged the middle class and merchants.
