Overview

  • On July 9, Yogi Adityanath accused the Samajwadi Party, Congress and BSP of fostering a ‘one district, one mafia’ system during their tenures.
  • He defended his tree plantation drive and ‘one district, one product’ and ‘one district, one crop’ schemes as models of transparent governance.
  • The JPNIC centre in Lucknow saw its budget swell from ₹200 crore to ₹860 crore and remains unfinished under a CBI investigation.
  • Adityanath credited his zero-tolerance crime policy with dismantling entrenched mafia networks and resolving an identity crisis among the state’s youth.
  • His remarks set the stage for a wider political confrontation ahead of upcoming elections as BJP highlights infrastructure progress and rivals demand broader corruption probes.
