Taking a dig at Opposition, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath Wednesday said that if there was SP or BSP govt, then all the money meant for public welfare would have gone into their personal bank accounts.
Speaking at a rally in Farrukhabad, Adityanath said, “We’re giving free COVID19 vaccines to all and free ration to the poor. This is what happens when there is a good government. If there was SP or BSP govt, then all the money meant for public welfare would have gone into their personal accounts.”
