Shimla,
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath today lashed out at the Virbhadra government for converting “Devbhoomi” into “mafia bhoomi” where corruption was rampant and complete anarchy prevailed.

“Himachal is a pious land of Gods and Goddesses but it is so painful to see that the Congress regime has converted it into a mafia land. There is complete lawlessness and anti-social elements involved in drug trade and illegal felling are flourishing with the government remaining a mute spectator,” he said. Yogi addressed the first of the three election rallies at Renuka in Sirmaur district today and later flew to Arki in Solan from where Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh is contesting.

“Rampant tree felling, migration of educated youth from the villages in search of jobs and rampant corruption will not just pose a threat for Himachal but for the entire country, in the coming days” he warned. He lamented that the recent crimes in the state had brought a bad name to ‘Dev Bhoomi’ not just within India but internationally.

Hitting out at Chief Parliamentary Secretary (PWD) and Congress candidate from Renuka, Vinay Kumar he said a person who cannot improve the road condition in his segment cannot be expected to do good work all over the state.
