Quotes
Yogi Adityanath
Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh
“Before 2017, when floods occurred, the government of the time did not even take cognizance of them. When there was a lot of outcry, victims were merely given dry bread in the name of relief, while all the money intended for relief was swallowed by SP goons.”

“While flood victims previously did not receive even one kilogram of relief material, approximately 50 kilograms of relief material are now being provided.”
