Quotes
Yogi Adityanath
Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh
“The makers of the Constitution adopted a parliamentary democratic system for India. If an elected representative loses public trust, the government goes. Every 5 years, representatives must return to the people. If a representative fails to respect public sentiment, the people have every right to replace that representative and allow someone else.”
